SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Get ready for a brisk weekend in Savannah, with Sunday bringing a fresh chance for some rain.
This year’s Halloween marked the coolest since 2012, as morning temperatures hovered in the 40s, climbing to highs around the mid-60s. Expect a chilly night with light winds and clear skies, leading to rapid cooling after sunset.
Overnight temperatures are set to fall into the upper 30s to lower 40s, except along the immediate coastline, which will stay around 45°. Some inland areas might experience a light frost on Saturday morning, but significant impacts are unlikely.
Saturday promises plenty of sunshine and mild weather, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 60s for many. A swift-moving storm system is expected to roll in, bringing cloud cover and rain chances by Sunday.
This system is relatively weak, with its fronts losing momentum as they approach. Anticipate about a 20% chance of brief showers from midday Sunday through Monday morning. Neither day will be a complete washout, and conditions should dry out by Monday afternoon.
Looking ahead to next week, expect calm weather as high pressure settles over the area. Rain chances will be minimal throughout the week. Mornings will start cool in the 40s and 50s, while afternoons will be mostly sunny, with temperatures climbing into the 70s by midweek.
