Forecast Discussion

Showers and thunderstorms will be around the Athens area over the next few days, in large part due to a low pressure system slightly further south, which is driving and pulling up the moisture from the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean and dumping it all across the Carolinas and as far north as into Michigan. Once the system moves out, which is roughly around Wednesday, there will be a brief period of no precipitation before another decent chance of summertime showers and thunderstorms pop up and move through on Thursday night, which will last through Saturday morning. It is worth noting that these showers and thunderstorms are scattered, so the rain will for the most part not be consistent by the hour. Cloud cover will also vary throughout these next several days as well.

For the high temperatures, we will be in the mid 70s for tomorrow and Wednesday, mid 80s on Thursday and Friday, and low 80s on Saturday. Low temperatures will be fairly consistent, with temps in the high 50s to low 60s, except for Thursday night, where temperatures will be in the high 60s.
