Forecast Discussion

The lingering low-pressure system responsible for yesterday’s constant rain will stay just north of us, maintaining cloudy skies today. Although Athens will remain rain-free under this system, temperatures should reach around 80 degrees with SW winds at 10-15 mph. Overnight, temperatures will drop to the upper 50s with lighter winds. Wednesday will see the gradual influence of building high pressure, yet partly cloudy conditions will persist. As night falls, the high pressure will dominate, allowing the skies to clear.

Thursday promises sun and mid-80s temperatures as the high-pressure remains. However, Friday brings the arrival of another low-pressure system, ushering in more showers. Following its departure, the high-pressure returns Saturday, again ensuring clear skies.
