Forecast Discussion

A dreary start of the weekend is in store for our area. A cold front will drudge through Athens tonight bringing heavy rain. Rain continues through much of the day Friday with a break in the late afternoon. Then, a deepening low will eject northeastward towards us, bringing another round of heavy rain. Rain and possibly thunderstorms continue throughout Saturday morning. A few showers are possible later in the day Saturday as well.

Rainfall amounts may exceed 2-3 inches by Saturday afternoon. For that reason a Flood Watch has been issued for our area. Stay safe on the roads as conditions will be slick. Winds will be gusty Saturday after another cold front sweeps through our area. Winds will be 15-20 mph throughout the day, gusting as high as 40. Try and enjoy the rainy end of the week!
