SAVANNAH, Ga. () — After a very rainy and stormy pattern over the weekend, Monday’s weather was much drier and warmer.

Though many locations had to deal with flooding conditions on Friday and Saturday.

Monday afternoon’s highs were close to normal in the upper 80s to lower 90s. A few isolated showers and storms developed late in the afternoon and continued into the early evening.

A LOOK AHEAD

A drier pattern will be setting up across the region for the next few days as a frontal boundary and high pressure builds in over the southeast. Tuesday will be mainly sunny and hot.

Humidity levels will begin to decrease due to a northerly breeze which will make conditions feel fairly comfortable despite highs reaching the lower 90s. Cooler and drier air will begin to move into the region on Wednesday.

Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 80s with morning lows in the mid 60s. High pressure will keep rain chances out of Wednesday’s forecast.

Rain and some storm chances will be being to move back into the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry starting on Thursday. We can expect a few isolated showers or storms in the afternoon hours.

Most locations will miss out on meaningful rainfall. More moisture will begin to flow into the region on Friday and into the weekend. Rain chances will become a little more widespread compared to Thursday.

Scattered showers and a few isolated storms are expected for Friday and into Labor Day weekend. Temperature will be trending in the low to mid 80s for the holiday weekend.
