In the Southeast region, the radar reveals a tapestry of weather conditions starting from north to south. The northern parts, particularly around Memphis, are under a significant swath of rain, indicating a wet afternoon for the city and surrounding areas. Storm systems have also reached Atlanta, bringing persistent rain showers. As we venture closer towards the coast, rain continues to impact Charlotte, with precipitation gradually spreading across Georgia towards the Carolinas. Over in Montgomery, the conditions remain relatively dry for the moment, but expect cloud cover to build as rain is on its way. As you travel farther south, Shreveport and Jackson, Mississippi are currently experiencing showers, contributing to a damp day. Meanwhile, Louisiana’s eastern areas, including New Orleans, are seeing scattered showers that move eastward. Down the coast, Jacksonville is the spot currently clearing up, offering a respite from the rain. The Florida panhandle and southern parts, like Tampa and Miami, remain relatively dry under clearer skies, though Miami might see a few sprinkles as the day progresses.
For tomorrow morning in Miami, expect a partly cloudy start to your day. Temperatures will begin at 77 degrees by 8 AM, rising to 81 degrees by 10 AM, and reaching 82 degrees by noon. Winds will be from the southeast at 15 to 17 miles per hour, maintaining a gentle breeze as the morning progresses. Enjoy the mild temperatures and partly cloudy skies as you head into the later part of the day.
For tomorrow’s high temperatures across the Southeast, we are looking at a significantly warming trend. Atlanta will see a high of 86 degrees, while Montgomery is expected to reach 88 degrees, both well above average for this time of year. Jacksonville is heating up to a steamy 90 degrees, and further south in Tampa, the temperature will peak at 91 degrees, signaling an unseasonably warm day. Moving westward, New Orleans is forecasted to hit 86 degrees, while Jackson, Mississippi will warm to 84 degrees, indicating a trend of warming across the region. In contrast, Memphis will lag slightly behind with a high of 75 degrees, providing a more moderate afternoon. This warmup is due to a strong ridge of high pressure establishing itself over the Southeast, bringing in warm, humid air. Overall, prepare for a summer-like feel as we transition into warmer afternoons.
A significant weather shift is underway across the Southeast as a cold front pushes in from the west. Expect the front to sweep through cities like Shreveport and Jackson by early morning. This system brings an increased chance for severe thunderstorms from Memphis down to New Orleans, potentially affecting the Friday morning commute. Heavy downpours and strong winds are likely, with more than an inch of rain possible in some areas over the next 48 hours, which could lead to localized flooding concerns. Further east, Atlanta to Savannah can anticipate scattered showers developing by Friday afternoon. The warm and humid air mass preceding the front provides fuel for thunderstorms that may become severe, particularly in Alabama and Georgia. Watch for weather alerts as the Storm Prediction Center highlights this area in its severe weather outlook. Post-frontal passage, the region will experience a temperature drop of 5 to 10 degrees, with drier conditions settling in by the weekend. Be prepared for a wet and stormy 24 to 48 hours as this active weather pattern unfolds across the Southeast.
The UV index in Miami will be very high on Friday with a value of 8, indicating a burn time of about 17 minutes in direct sunlight. On Saturday, expect the UV index to reach an extreme level of 10, where burn time can occur in just 12 minutes! Make sure to wear protective clothing, apply a high SPF sunscreen, and seek shade during peak sun hours.
