The sun was shining brightly over Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday afternoon, delivering the expected warmth as temperatures soared into the upper 80s and even breached the 90s in some areas. This is just the beginning of a trend, with forecasts predicting even hotter days ahead as the week progresses.
As residents wake up on Wednesday morning, they’ll be greeted by mild conditions, with temperatures dipping into the upper 50s to lower 60s along the coast. Those further inland may experience slightly cooler starts to their day. There’s also a chance of encountering patches of fog in some locations.
By the afternoon, the mercury is anticipated to climb once again, reaching highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Areas west of I-95 are particularly poised to experience temperatures in the lower 90s, taking the brunt of the heat.
A high-pressure system continues to dominate the region, ensuring clear, sunny skies. This system will push temperatures even higher as the week progresses, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday possibly seeing highs in the lower to mid-90s.
The Coastal Empire and Lowcountry are on alert for potentially record-breaking temperatures, particularly on Saturday, as the relentless high-pressure system maintains its grip on the area.

- Wednesday, April 15 – Forecast 88° – Record 92° (1972)
- Thursday, April 16 – Forecast 89° – Record 92° (1967)
- Friday, April 17 – Forecast 92° – Record 95° (1967)

A cold front will approach the region on Sunday and will bring extra clouds and possibly just enough moisture for a few spotty showers to develop. Rain chances will be very low and will not amount to enough to help out the drought situation.
Temperatures behind the cold front for Monday and Tuesday will be significantly cooler than what we expect over the next few days, but will be back to what is considered normal for this point in April. High both days will be in the mid and upper 70s.
Warmer and drier weather will prevail for the remainder of next week. High temperatures by next Wednesday will be back into the 80s and that trend will continue into the following weekend.
