Forecast Discussion

Flood Warning until September 21, 02:00 PM EDT

Today’s forecast shows us that we can expect a significant amount of rain across the Athens area from today through Wednesday night. As shown above there are both warnings and watches for flooding in the area and should be taken into more consideration for concern in the low, flood prone areas.

Today’s temperature as well as the trend for the next few days has lowered and cooled significantly. We can expect a high today of 74 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 57 degrees Fahrenheit. For the high temperatures, this trend of low 70s, high 60s will continue throughout the week. On the other hand, the low temperatures will reach as low as mid to low 50s as we move later in the week. Overall, the combination of the constant rainfall and cooler temperatures can indicate that we are slowly approaching more fall like weather.
