Highs will remain in the 90s areawide into the weekend. While temperatures and heat index values will remain below advisory criteria, we are still running some 10 to 15 degrees above average for mid-September.
Moisture will spread across North and Central Georgia from Friday into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around each day this weekend into early next week. A few storms during this period may be strong, with gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall.
Long-range forecasts suggest continued heat into late September thanks to a persistent upper-level ridge and surface high pressure pattern. For most this would mean that high temperatures in the upper 80s to 90s aren’t going anywhere. Continue practicing heat safety if spending time outdoors during the hottest time of day.
