SAVANNAH, Ga. — The region enjoyed a taste of spring with Tuesday’s balmy afternoon, but as we look ahead to Wednesday and the days to follow, we can expect more of this warm weather to persist. However, this warmth comes with a catch—showers and thunderstorms are also poised to make a comeback.
As Tuesday drew to a close, clouds began to gather, gradually thickening as the night wore on. While most of the evening remained dry, there’s a chance of a few isolated showers overnight.
Early Wednesday morning promises to usher in scattered showers, and in some areas, the rain could be quite substantial. For those in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry, expect morning temperatures to hover in the lower 50s.
By afternoon, another wave of scattered rain is anticipated, continuing into the early evening hours. With temperatures climbing comfortably into the 70s, there’s a possibility of a few thunderstorms developing during this time.
Throughout Wednesday, rainfall accumulation is likely to range from a quarter to a half-inch, though areas experiencing thunderstorms could see slightly higher amounts. Keep umbrellas handy as the weather pattern continues to evolve.
A drier and slightly cooler pattern will set up again for Thursday and Friday. However, afternoon highs will remain above normal.
The next rainmaker will move in over the weekend. A few showers become possible Saturday evening, with more becoming likely on Sunday. A few storms may become strong on Sunday, but widespread severe weather is not expected at this time.
This system, though, will bring in beneficial rainfall to the Southeastern U.S. Some model guidance as of Tuesday evening indicates that many parts of the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry could receive over an inch of rain.
A drier and warmer pattern will set up again for early next week with afternoon highs topping out in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
