Savannah, Georgia – Labor Day in Savannah will feature mostly sunny conditions with comfortable temperatures starting in the 60s in the morning and climbing into the low to mid 80s by afternoon. Beachgoers are advised to exercise caution due to a high risk for rip currents, caused by wind gusts reaching up to 20 miles per hour from the northeast. A Small Craft Advisory will be in effect until 6 AM on Tuesday, indicating that marine conditions may pose risks for smaller vessels.
On Tuesday, temperatures will again start in the 60s away from the coast, reaching mid 80s in the afternoon, with continued dry and sunny weather. This pleasant weather pattern is expected to carry through to midweek, with forecast highs in the mid to upper 80s. However, there is a low probability of rain in the afternoons on Wednesday and Thursday.
Beginning Friday, warmer temperatures are anticipated, with morning lows in the 70s and highs approaching 90 degrees. An incoming front this weekend could introduce unsettled weather, but current projections indicate low chances of rain. As of now, the possibility of rain for Sunday in Savannah is estimated to be around 20-30%, with lower chances in areas such as Hampton, Vidalia, and Hazlehurst at 10%. Although coastal areas might experience sporadic showers, many hours are expected to remain dry.
The forecast for Labor Day weekend predicts temperatures near 80 degrees at the coast and in the mid-80s for inland regions. Monday has been identified as the top weather day of the holiday weekend, showcasing dry and sunny conditions. Examination of future temperatures suggests a rise back to 90 degrees by late in the week.
As the first week of September progresses, a tropical wave is being monitored, currently presenting a 30% chance of tropical development. Any potential impacts from this system, originating from an area of low pressure emerging off the western coast of Africa, are expected to be 10-14 days away. Peak hurricane season occurs during the second week of September, heightening the awareness for possible tropical systems.
Local meteorologists emphasize the importance of staying informed about weather updates as the holiday weekend moves along. As the weather continues to change, potential rain forecasts may shift, making it essential for residents and visitors to keep an eye on local conditions.
