Rain is sweeping in from the Gulf towards New Orleans, and darkening clouds signal more showers on the way for central Mississippi. Areas around Jackson are already seeing precipitation, and it’s spreading eastward to Montgomery. Coastal showers are dotting the area near Savannah, with more persistent rain offshore of Charleston. A dry pocket keeps Miami and Jacksonville clear, while heavier rain clusters are offshore in the Atlantic. Stay prepared as these conditions shift throughout the day!
Atlanta’s afternoon brings partly cloudy skies with temperatures holding steady at 69 degrees by 4 PM and staying consistent toward the evening. Winds are mild, coming from the west at 9 miles per hour. By 8 PM, the skies clear up for a mostly sunny outlook, with temperatures slightly cooling to 66 degrees and a wind shift to west-northwest at 6 miles per hour.
A warm day is ahead for the Southeast region. In New Orleans, look for a high of 80 degrees, while Houston will see a comfy 79. Over in Jackson, temperatures will reach 79 degrees as well. Atlanta is a bit cooler today, peaking at 71 degrees. Jacksonville shines with a high of 88 degrees, matching Tampa’s warmth, which also hits 88.

Tonight in the Southeast, expect a noticeable drop in temperatures as cooler air settles in. Memphis will see a low of 56 degrees, while Atlanta cools down to 58. In contrast, Jacksonville remains milder with a low of 71 degrees. Shreveport can anticipate a low of 63, and further south, New Orleans will stay warmer at 70.

Tomorrow in the Southeast, high temperatures are pushing well above average as a warm front moves through the region. Atlanta will see a high of 79 degrees, while Jackson reaches 76. Montgomery is expected to climb to a warm 82 degrees, and New Orleans will hit 79. The hottest spot will be in Florida, where Tampa soars to 92 degrees and Jacksonville reaches 90. Expect warmer conditions, especially in the southern areas, influenced by high pressure settling in.
A significant cold front is expected to push through Southeast regions tomorrow, starting in parts of eastern Texas and stretching toward Mississippi and Alabama. This system could spark thunderstorms from Houston to Jackson, with possible severe weather, including gusty winds and heavy rain. The front reaches Atlanta towards the late afternoon, bringing a risk of isolated severe storms. Areas like Miami and Tampa should see increased rain intensity late Tuesday, continuing into the night. Temperatures are forecast to drop by about 5 to 10 degrees behind the front, followed by clearer conditions midweek.
The UV index in Atlanta will be very high at 9 on both Monday and Tuesday, with a burn time of just 15 minutes in direct sunlight. It’s crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during midday hours. Be extra cautious if you’re planning outdoor activities!
