Atlanta Weather | Sun Finally Making an Appearance!

After a week of heavy rainfall, we can finally expect some clearer skies as precipitation chances decrease for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Precipitation from the past week leaves us with some lingering moisture in the air, so expect high humidity.

As the trough moves eastward and cloud cover decreases, temperatures will rise into the 90s.  By tomorrow afternoon it will be hot hot HOT, reaching up to 94.

A cold front will be moving in by Thursday however, bringing a slight drop in temperatures and more rain for North and Central Georgia.  The system will move out quickly just in time for a warm and mostly sunny weekend!

Atlanta Weather | Monday Night Forecast

Short Term

The forecast for the next few days will involve a lot of humidity and very warm temps. Tomorrow will be one of the first days of the year where we will break the 90's. There is a slim chance of a shower or afternoon t-storm, but it is less than 20%.

End of the Week

Another disturbance rounds the turn to the NW and starts to come in this direction. As it comes in this direction we will see an increasing chance for a few t-storms on Thursday afternoon.

I AM LOOKING FOR STORM SPOTTERS!!!

Atlanta Weather | Andrea Breaks Numerous Rainfall Records
 Parts of SE Georgia received very heavy rainfall as Tropical Storm Andrea moved through last Friday.The rain didn’t break any records here, but that was not the case for the rest of our east coast neighbors. Numerous rainfall records were shattered, with flooding being triggered in the process, as Andrea moved up the East Coast.Raleigh, New York City, Philadelphia and Boston are among the many communities (see list below) that experienced their rainiest June 7 in recorded history on Friday.Friday's records fell as Andrea unleashed between 3 and slightly more than 6 inches of rain from central North Carolina to Massachusetts. Topping  the list of  Andrea's rainfall totals are Ledyard Center and Madison, Conn., with 6.30 inches and 6.20 inches, respectively.

Monday Atlanta Weather Outlook

We continue to monitor a few showers and thundershowers.  These showers and storms are moving to the north and east.  So far, the main threats have been heavy rain.  We expect some areas to pick up 1.5 to 2 inches of rain with some of these storms.  Some localized areas may even pick up more rain.  Some of these heavier showers could prompt some flash flooding.  The NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch through Monday morning.  Watch for rising water on roads and in flood prone areas if you are in one of these heavy showers.

Showers are becoming more numerous and getting more intense this afternoon into the evening.  These showers and storms are moving to the north and east.  So far, the main threats have been heavy rain.  We expect some areas to pick up 1.5 to 2 inches of rain with some of these storms.  Some localized areas may even pick up more rain.  Some of these heavier showers could prompt some flash flooding.  The NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch through Monday morning.  Watch for rising water on roads and in flood prone areas if you are in one of these heavy showers. 

Sunday Atlanta Weather

We'll have a better chance of showers today and tomorrow.  We are watching moisture that is streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico from the southwest to the northeast.  That moisture will move our way in the form of some scattered showers and a few thundershowers.  

It won't be an all day rain.  It will be mostly cloudy with those off and on showers developing late morning into the afternoon hours.  Some of these showers will contain thunder and lightning.  We don't expect a widespread severe weather event, but don't be surprised if 1 or 2 of these storms briefly prompts a severe thunderstorm warning.  The main threats would be lightning and pockets of heavy rain.  

We will continue with some showers on Monday.  Then it gets drier and hotter for the middle of the week.  High temps will reach 90 on Wednesday and Thursday.
