Forecast Discussion

Wind Advisory in effect on Friday, March 13, 08:00 AM until 08:00 PM

Winds will be the main impact for Athens on Friday as a strong low‑pressure system moves through the Great Lakes. A powerful low‑level jet will mix to the surface after sunrise, producing several hours of strong gusts from mid‑morning through mid‑afternoon. Gusts over 40 mph are likely, and a few higher gusts can’t be ruled out during the peak mixing period.

A brief rain-snow mix is possible early in the morning, but dry air near the surface should limit any effects. Winds ease toward sunset as the pressure gradient relaxes. The weekend starts quieter, with widespread rain returning Sunday and a colder rain-snow mix expected Monday as temperatures drop.
