Heat wave to end, rain chance goes up

Despite rising odds of rain the next 3-5 days there will still be plenty of dry weather in-between, so NOT a “rainy or stormy weekend” but your plans will need to dodge scattered showers and storms especially Friday and Saturday, put the umbrella on standby and have a plan B.

The good news is this marks the start of the end for our 19 day stretch of consecutive 90 degree high temperature days and some areas should even seen morning lows below 70 by Sunday or Monday.

In fact high temperatures will be not only noticeably cooler by Sunday as a “wedge” builds in but temperatures will go below-normal by around 6 degrees.

Atlanta on average has 37 days in the 90s, so far this year we’ve had 60.

Lots of humidity and a slow moving atmosphere will mean where a storm does form it can dump copious rainfall in some spots for isolated flooding. An isolated strong or severe storm is also possible but widespread severe weather is not expected as of now.

The chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through Tuesday.
