News Summary

Savannah is set to experience a warm spell with temperatures reaching the mid-80s in the coming days. Current conditions are mild at around 60 degrees, and residents should brace for a slight chance of showers this weekend. The weekend is expected to feature warm mornings and highs soaring into the 80s, but with an increasing chance of rain, particularly Saturday afternoon. Overall, April has been notably dry, leaving Savannah with significant rainfall deficits as it approaches the hurricane season.

Savannah is experiencing a warm spell as temperatures are expected to rise into the mid-80s in the coming days, but residents should remain alert for potential showers this weekend. Current temperatures are around 60 degrees with dry roads, making for a smooth morning commute. By lunchtime, the mercury is expected to climb to the lower 80s, peaking in the mid-80s throughout the day. Breezes will accompany the warmth, reaching gusts of 20 to 25 miles per hour in the afternoon.

Tonight, conditions will remain calm as temperatures drop into the 70s after sunset. The forecast for Friday shows morning temperatures starting in the low to mid-60s, with daily highs anticipated in the mid to upper 80s. However, a slight chance of showers in the afternoon into the evening is projected, particularly for areas west of I-95, though the majority of Savannah is likely to enjoy dry weather.

The weekend will begin with warm morning temperatures averaging in the mid to upper 60s. Highs will again soar into the mid to upper 80s, particularly for regions further inland. As Saturday unfolds, a shift in weather patterns is expected to bring the next notable chance for showers and storms due to the sea breeze moving inland, alongside an approaching cold front that will increase atmospheric lift.

While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, there is a possibility that one or two stronger storms may develop in the afternoon before conditions settle down later in the evening. Looking ahead to Sunday, temperatures are projected to reach the lower 80s, with a subsequent chance for showers and storms throughout the day.

The upcoming Monday will bring cooler temperatures starting in the upper 50s to lower 60s, with anticipated highs in the lower 80s. The rain potential appears to linger into Monday, but mid-week forecasts indicate a shift towards drier conditions.

April is concluding as one of the driest months on record for Savannah, with only 0.25 inches of rain measured throughout the month, resulting in a deficit of nearly 3 inches. The year-to-date rainfall deficit has reached approximately 6 inches, creating concern for water levels in the region.

With the Atlantic hurricane season officially commencing on June 1, local meteorologists are set to begin monitoring for any potential pre-season storm activity in May. For now, residents can expect dry conditions to prevail until the announced chance for rain arrives this weekend, allowing for the continuation of outdoor plans without interruption.
