Forecast Discussion

The weather feature to watch this week is low pressure moving across the Southeast. it's in South Alabama today and will move slowly northeast through Georgia (Tuesday) and to the Carolina Coast (Wednesday and Thursday).

Monday is relatively warm and dry with only isolated late-day thundershowers.

Clouds increase tonight with the approaching low. Scattered showers and storms develop late tonight and will be in the region through the daytime Wednesday. Afternoon is the most likely time to get by a storm, but showers are in play anytime between late tonight and Wednesday evening.

We'll have two drier/warmer days with more sun (Thursday and Friday) as the low exits slowly to the northeast.

The remnants of a front arrive from the west Saturday with scattered, mostly afternoon showers and storms. Sunday has only isolated PM thundershower coverage.
