Shreveport is already in the midst of heavy rain, with the wet conditions expected to move toward Jackson. To the northeast, Memphis experiences scattered showers, while the storms intensify. Savannah and Charleston enjoy a reprieve under clear skies, but Charlotte and Atlanta should prepare for an increase in cloud cover. Miami and Tampa remain clear and dry, setting a contrast to the stormy conditions further west.
This evening in Atlanta, expect mostly cloudy skies with a southeast wind at 6 to 7 miles per hour. Temperatures start at 69 degrees at 8 PM, cooling slightly to 65 degrees by midnight.

“Keep an eye on the Southeast tomorrow, where a robust weather pattern emerges. A line of strong thunderstorms is on the cards as a cold front advances from the west. Areas from New Orleans to Montgomery will experience afternoon storms with potential heavy rain and gusty winds. As the front moves, expect thunderstorms extending from Jacksonville to Charlotte by evening. The Storm Prediction Center has parts of this region highlighted for severe risk, so stay alert for any weather warnings. Rain totals could be significant, bringing well-needed relief but also a chance for localized flooding. Temperatures remain warm but will trend cooler post-front, calming down as we head into the weekend.”
