Key Message 1…
A cold front will sweep through the region triggering chances for showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening on Thursday. Athens is right on the cusp of a Marginal Risk for severe weather as some storms may be severe and the area is on a lower end risk for hail and damaging wind gusts. Otherwise, dry but hotter weather is expected for the remainder of the work week and into the weekend as high pressure builds and sunny skies are expected.
