SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The pleasant pattern we’ve been enjoying will continue through the weekend.

Friday brought a warm and mainly sunny day for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Temperatures topped out in the mid and upper 80s while winds out of the north-northeast helped keep humidity down.

Forecast Details

High pressure situated to our north will continue to keep us locked into a quiet weather pattern. Expect a north to northeasterly breeze at times Saturday, with gusts to around 25 mph possible along and east of I-95.

Temperatures will remain fairly mild with 60s in the morning and mid to upper 80s for the afternoons through the weekend into early next week.

An area of low pressure developing off the Southeast Coast will help keep breezy conditions in play through the middle of next week. Air flowing between it and high pressure to our north will keep winds elevated for the start of the new week. 

If the system tracks further west, rain chances may be in play for the first few days next week but guidance is keeping our area dry.

Tropics

The tropics remain quiet close to home as wind shear is too high for any development in the Gulf, Caribbean, or Southwest Atlantic.

A tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa is showing solid thunderstorm development but lacks organization. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression or named storm.

Slow organization is possible next week but the dry air and wind shear that has been keeping the basin quiet will win the battle in the short term.

There continues to be no tropical threats for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry.
