SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Rain has moved in and will stick around for a lot of Saturday.

A low-pressure area progressing along a stalled frontal boundary will concentrate moisture and elevate rain chances across the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Scattered showers will increase, resulting in widespread rain and storms by midday.

Rain and storms are anticipated to gradually diminish by the evening, allowing for dry conditions by sunset. Temperatures will be mild as Sunday begins, with more dry periods expected compared to today. The afternoon might bring scattered showers and a thunderstorm or two.

Labor Day will feature a 30% chance of showers and storms. Be sure to have backup indoor plans but dry time will dominate.

The shortened work week will see a return of sunshine accompanied by typical showers and storms. Storm chances will slightly increase on Wednesday as a disturbance passes through the region. Temperatures will move closer to average, featuring warm and muggy mornings, and hot, humid afternoons ranging from the upper-80s to lower-90s by week’s end.

The tropics remain calm in our area. Early next week, a tropical wave originating off the coast of Africa will approach the Cabo Verde islands. The National Hurricane Center currently assigns it a 30% likelihood of developing into a tropical depression or named storm within the next week.

The conditions over the Tropical Atlantic Ocean do not favor rapid or robust development, attributed to near-average water temperatures, dry air, and areas of wind shear. Although we are approaching the season’s peak, six weeks of peak activity still lie ahead.

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