Forecast Discussion

For this upcoming weekend, we are expecting active weather for the Athens region. Showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout today as moisture values are high. With high moisture present, heavy downpours may happen. On Friday, the remains of Laura should move into our area bringing showers and thunderstorms. Then Saturday, guidance is suggesting a cold front to push through increasing the chance for showers ahead of the front. Temperatures should be lower than what we have been seeing recently on Sunday. After the front passes, pressure should begin to rise for the beginning of the upcoming work week.
