Forecast Discussion

Currently, strong high pressure at the surface is keeping conditions dry for the Athens region. As the weekend approaches, a low pressure system is expected to cross our area. The cold front is expected to pass Saturday night into Sunday during the day. Moisture and instability are high, so there will likely be showers and thunderstorms associated with the cold front passing. With moisture levels being high, guidance is suggesting large amounts of precipitation. Keep updated on the weather this weekend as the risk from these storms is flooding. After the cold front passes conditions should go back to being dry and fair.
