The Southeast region is currently experiencing a mix of weather conditions as indicated by the radar. A band of rain showers is stretching from Houston across New Orleans and into southern Mississippi, providing a wet start to the day in these areas. Meanwhile, Miami is on the edge of a more concentrated area of showers, including some heavy downpours pushing northward. Elsewhere across the region, cities like Atlanta and Charlotte are still under clear skies but should anticipate increased cloud cover later as the systems move. Jacksonville and Tampa are seeing scattered showers, which could intensify through the day.
Tomorrow Morning in Atlanta, start the day with clear skies and a bright, sunny outlook. Temperatures rise from 65 degrees at 8 AM to 73 degrees by 10 AM, with a light north-northwest wind at 5 miles per hour. By noon, it will be 79 degrees under sunny skies, making for a pleasant start to your day.
Tomorrow Atlanta is expected to reach 86 degrees, while Savannah will be slightly warmer at 89. Jacksonville and Montgomery both forecast highs of 90 degrees, indicating above-average warmth for this time of year. Meanwhile, Houston will see a high of 91, and Shreveport is anticipated to hit 92 degrees, making it one of the warmest spots in the area.
Starting Tuesday, an active weather pattern takes hold in the Southeast with increasing chances of thunderstorms due to a cold front pushing through the region. Look for scattered storms from Houston, progressing eastward through Shreveport, Jackson, and into Montgomery by Wednesday afternoon. The Greenville and Charlotte areas might experience localized heavy rain and strong winds, so stay weather aware. The frontal system will cool down temperatures slightly, offering a mild late week in cities like Atlanta and Jacksonville. Although no severe weather is expected at this time, keep an eye on updated forecasts as systems evolve.
