The metro Atlanta area had another very hot day on Thursday. However, the area avoided triple-digit temperatures because it rained and clouded over earlier in the day. FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Jonathan Stacey said, “The rain moved in and even the clouds before that.
The showers are moving out really before everything gets up and going for the late evening hours.” “Winds are bringing in more moisture from the east-southeast at seven miles per hour, fueling potential storms.”
The weather in the area will continue to be affected by a fixed front for the next 48 hours and into the weekend.
Over the next few days, early morning showers will slowly cross the state line between Alabama and Georgia. Most places will stay dry until the afternoon when high moisture levels could lead to spot storms.
The weekend is coming up. What will the weather be like?
Over the weekend, temperatures will likely rise again, hitting the lower 90s on Saturday and up to 95 degrees on Sunday. “The heat is on and it’s going to be hard to turn off,” Stacey said.
The Storm Team is keeping an eye on a storm in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico that has a 20% chance of becoming a hurricane. An area of low pressure in the Atlantic is getting stronger, and it could affect the Lesser Antilles in the next few days fox5atlanta stated.
The seven-day prediction says that it will stay in the 90s, and it will probably rain and storm in the afternoon.
