Forecast Discussion

Drier weather is expected throughout the day today before a new system rolls in for this evening. The excessive rainfall outlook has Athens placed under an elevated risk (level 2 out of 4) for tonight. That risk is expected to decrease to a limited risk (level 1 out of 4) for Thursday. Flash flooding is a concern due to the consideration of the ground already being saturated from the previous system. No precipitation is expected for Friday as of right now but stay updated for any changes. A cold front is expected to move through the area on Saturday which could cause further precipitation. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain in the high 70s to the low 80s while nighttime temperatures are expected to remain in the high 50s to the mid 60s.
