Georgia residents will start Thursday under a muggy sky with thick cloud cover, as warm tropical air brings unseasonably humid conditions and scattered showers across the state.
🌧️ Why It Matters: The stubborn humidity and warm temperatures, unusual for November, are a direct result of a stalled weather front stretching across the Southeast. This front will continue to keep skies overcast and bring persistent moisture, impacting outdoor plans and leading to a damp, sticky end to the week.
🌥️ What’s Happening: The tropical moisture will keep much of the state cloudy with occasional breaks. Here’s what to expect:
• Morning temperatures are unseasonably high in the 60s, reaching the upper 70s by afternoon.
• Scattered light showers may develop throughout the day, with the humidity holding steady well into the evening.
🌡️ Looking Ahead: The pattern remains stuck until the weekend, with no immediate weather changes. Here’s how the forecast plays out:
• Friday and Saturday will stay humid, cloudy, and warm due to the stalled front.
• By Sunday, a stronger cold front could help push the boundary north, leading to more showers statewide.
🌞 Veterans Day Relief: Clearer skies and cooler, seasonal weather are likely after Monday as the front moves out, finally bringing sunshine by Tuesday.
🌀 Hurricane Rafael Update: Rafael intensified to a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall in Cuba. The storm is currently in the Gulf of Mexico, but experts say that the stalled front across the Southeast will help steer it southward, keeping it well clear of Georgia. Rafael is expected to weaken as it drifts over the Bay of Campeche by the weekend.
