A cold front is set to move through Southeast tomorrow, sparking an uptick in storm activity. Expect thunderstorms ranging from New Orleans to Charlotte, with a higher potential for severe weather, primarily in the form of strong winds and heavy rain. The line of storms will push eastward through the day, impacting areas from Atlanta to Savannah by the afternoon. With up to an inch of rain in spots, local flooding may become a concern.
Today in Atlanta, be prepared for a UV index of 6, especially if those afternoon clouds bring any isolated storms, potentially lowering exposure a bit. You’ll have about 23 minutes before sunburn can occur, so please apply sun protection if you’re out and about. Tomorrow, the UV index jumps to a very high 9, meaning unprotected skin can burn in just 15 minutes.
