SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Mild conditions continue into this weekend, with rain chances on the way.

Friday brought a warm and breezy day across our area, with temperatures topping out in the low to mid 80s and winds of 10-15 mph occasionally gusting to 25 mph.

Expect changing conditions through the first weekend of October. Saturday will bring more cloud cover and a 40% chance of rain. Showers are expected to be on and off throughout the day but do not expect a washout.

A disturbance in the mid-levels will bring a slight wind shift, and additional moisture for the end of the weekend. Expect a 60% chance of rain Sunday and Monday, with soaking rain at times. Most of the rain will be south of I-16 but periods of showers are expected at times for the Lowcountry.

Elevated winds and persistent onshore flow coupled with astronomical high tides will lead to concerns for minor coastal flooding. Saltwater flooding is possible at lower elevation spots around high tide.

Rain chances drop off to 20-30% for the rest of the week as easterly flow off the Atlantic will bring passing showers. High pressure weakening will keep winds out of the east which will allow for a warmer and more humid pattern for a bulk of next week, with mornings in the upper-60s to lower-70s and afternoon temperatures slightly above average in the low to mid 80s.

A cold front will move into the region by late-week, which will help a storm system form for the end of the week. Rain chances will remain in place, and a return to mild conditions is possible if stronger high pressure can build in to our north.

The tropics don’t feature many changes, with an area of disturbed weather off the coast of Florida, and a tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa.

The disturbance closer to home has a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression or named storm. The window for this system to develop is closing as strong wind shear will put a lid on its chances.

A tropical wave moving off the west coast of Africa has a 50% chance of developing over the next seven days. Expect this system to slowly organize as it gets closer to the Caribbean next week. It bears watching as it tracks further west.

There are currently no tropical threats for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry.
