Forecast Discussion

A new system is expected to head toward Athens Wednesday evening with chances of thunderstorms. The excessive rainfall outlook has Athens placed under a limited risk (level 1 out of 4) for Wednesday and Thursday. Flooding is a concern in flood prone and low lying areas due to the ground already being saturated from the previous system. Nighttime temperatures are expected to remain in the high 50s to the low 60s while daytime temperatures are expected to remain in the high 70s to the low 80s. Areas of fog are expected after 10:00 PM this evening until 10:00 AM Wednesday morning. Calm winds are expected for the next few days with a gentle breeze occurring on Wednesday.
