Most notably, strong storms are forming off the coast near Miami, with a clear trajectory towards the northeast. Clear skies dominate farther west around Houston and New Orleans, providing a break from inclement weather. Memphis and Shreveport remain under mild conditions with minimal cloud cover, allowing for clearer skies in those areas. Savannah enjoys a break from the rain, though cloud cover is increasing across the region.
For this evening in Atlanta, anticipate clear skies throughout. Temperatures transition from 68 degrees at 8 PM to 58 degrees by midnight. Winds will generally be light, coming from the west-northwest between 7 and 8 miles per hour.

By late Wednesday, the front reaches the coast, bringing showers from Jacksonville to Savannah. Keep up to date with weather alerts as conditions may lead to flash flooding in more vulnerable areas.”
