Forecast Discussion

Temperatures and calm winds will continue through Saturday as we are placed under a high pressure system that has kept clouds and rain chances out of the area. The temps are expected to be in the mid 70s and the lows in the low 50s. However, as Hurricane Isaias moves up from the Gulf Coast, the wind speeds will slightly pick up and cloudy conditions will occur. Additionally, remnants are expected to come into the area, causing widespread rain showers. If it lingers over the area, localized flooding is possible on Saturday night and Sunday. As a result, Athens is currently under a marginal risk (1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall. Stay safe and have a fun HOUcoming weekend!
