SAVANNAH, Ga. () — A cold front stalling offshore will bring a cooler and at times unsettled start to the new week.

Sunday featured a cold front moving through the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. This coupled with plenty of heat and humidity led to isolated storms for portions of the afternoon and evening.

Some spots picked up a quick two to three inches of rain. There were reports of downed trees in Savannah, but most storms remained fairly tame.

Monday will be cooler, with a mild morning giving way to a breezy day. Winds will be out of the northeast at 10-15 mph, with gusts to 25 mph along the coast. There will be a 30% chance of passing showers and a rumble of thunder or two during the afternoon.

A developing area of low pressure will move up the Southeast Coast early this week. The center of the low pressure and most of the widespread thunderstorms will remain offshore.

However, the system’s closest approach on Tuesday will allow for periods of passing showers, with rain chances peaking at 40% or so. Rain chances gradually fall off Wednesday and Thursday.

The northeasterly winds will stick around through midweek. This will lead to high surf and rip currents at the beaches, and rough conditions for boaters. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect beginning Monday at 6 AM.

Temperatures will be below average with mornings in the 60s all week, and high temperatures in the 80s.

The tropics are currently very quiet with no areas to watch. The Atlantic Basin, Caribbean, and Gulf are too hostile to support any tropical development at this time.
