Savannah is experiencing a decrease in rain chances as the holiday weekend progresses, with the most favorable weather expected on Monday. A slight chance of passing showers is still on the forecast for Sunday, particularly near and east of I-95.
Specifically, the likelihood of showers in the Savannah area is estimated at 20-30% on Sunday, while locations such as Hampton, Vidalia, and Hazlehurst will see a reduced chance of 10%. Although coastal regions might encounter some spotty showers throughout the day, many hours are expected to remain dry, making it a suitable time for outdoor activities.
Temperatures for Sunday are forecasted to reach near 80 degrees along the coast, while inland areas could experience mid-80s. As the holiday weekend comes to an end, Monday is predicted to be the best day with clear, sunny skies and dry conditions.
Upcoming Weather Trends
Looking ahead, high temperatures are anticipated to rebound to around 90 degrees later in the week. This positive weather trend follows a Saturday marked by scattered showers and thunderstorms, which are expected to be the wettest day of the weekend with intermittent rain throughout the day. However, rain chances are considerably less for Labor Day, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy more outdoor time.
Tropical Forecast
