SAVANNAH, Ga. () – Good morning. Stormteam 3 Meteorologist Alysa Carsley here. Let’s have a fabulous Thursday!

While it will be warmer this afternoon, our Thursday morning started with wonderful cool and comfortable temperatures once again in the 60s. Under a mostly sunny sky, afternoon temperatures climb into the upper 80s to low 90s. There will be a noticeable afternoon temperature difference starting today compared to our fall preview over the last few days.

From Friday and into our weekend, temperatures are back above average, in the low to mid-90s. Late summer humidity will also increase, with feel-like temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s. Quiet conditions continue with a few clouds starting to increase through the weekend. Late in the weekend, a cold front will approach the area, and a stray shower will be possible Sunday. 

The cold front passes through late Sunday into Monday and then stalls to our south. This keeps scattered rain around each day from Monday through Wednesday. This will also bring back a northerly/northeasterly wind, so temperatures next week will be back in the mid 80s.

TROPICS: The National Hurricane Center is still monitoring the tropical wave located southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Over the last 24 hours, it has become better organized and is likely our next tropical depression. It has a high chance of tropical development over the next 5-7 days as it tracks towards the Lesser Antilles. Like Scott mentioned, long-range models are showing a southern trend in its westward track. Currently no threat to the US at this time, but we will keep an eye on this system over the next week.
