Forecast Discussion

Tonight and into tomorrow there will be an increase in cloud cover due to tropical moisture from Hurricane Isaias. For Homecoming tomorrow temperatures will stay in the mid-50s and 60s for the morning. As we move closer to game time temperatures will rise into the 70s for our high of the day. Chances for rain increase throughout your day tomorrow as remnants of Hurricane Isaias move into the region. This will bring chances for showers and potential thunderstorms Saturday night and into your day Sunday. This will also bring chances for wind gusts up to 20 mph on Saturday night. The WPC has Athens under a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall throughout the weekend.

Moving into the start of the week a high pressure system will move into the area clearing out the remainders of the storm and bringing us calmer weather. Temperatures will rise into the upper 70s for your highs and remain in the 50s for your lows.
