SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Today is the start of a drier weather pattern across the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry.

Your Sunday will feature warmer temperatures and much more isolated rain chances as compared to Saturday. 

The low-pressure system causing yesterday’s gloomy weather is starting to move away from our region. Gradually, the clouds will begin to dissipate, and temperatures are expected to climb into the mid to upper 80s.

If sufficient sunlight emerges, there will be enough instability for a 30% chance of showers and possibly some thunder this afternoon and evening. Although the risk of flooding is not significantly high, any heavy rainfall could lead to street flooding.

Tonight through Monday, the skies will clear up. Due to the recent rainfall and decreased winds overnight, fog is possible around sunrise on Monday morning.

Monday will bring hotter temperatures and isolated thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front. This front will significantly alter the forecast by decreasing temperatures and humidity levels.

For the majority of the upcoming week, expect morning temperatures in the 60s with afternoon highs that will be below normal, along with more comfortable humidity levels. The likelihood of rain will diminish to around 20% from Tuesday onward.

In the tropics, Tropical Storm Fernand is maintaining a weak status, positioned 300 miles east of Bermuda. It is anticipated to remain weak as it progresses northward.

Invest 99-L continues to move westward towards the Caribbean. The disturbance has maintained persistent thunderstorm activity. 

Hurricane Hunters may investigate this system. It has a 40% chance of developing, but faces a long road ahead of it due to a hostile environment in the Caribbean Sea. We do need to keep an eye on it long-term for any development closer to home.

There remains no tropical threats to the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry at this time.
