Forecast Discussion

A weak high-pressure system will bring mostly sunny and dry conditions to Athens on Thursday, with light winds gradually shifting to a southerly direction by evening as the high moves eastward. Clouds will increase overnight as a low-pressure system approaches from the west. On Friday, overcast skies and rain showers will develop, especially during the afternoon and evening, with light to moderate rainfall expected. Winds will become gusty from the south-southwest before the rain tapers off overnight. By Saturday, drier and cooler air will settle into the region. Morning clouds will give way to partly sunny skies by afternoon, though breezy northwest winds will linger throughout the day. Quiet and cool weather is expected to continue into Sunday under the influence of high pressure.
