Tropical moisture and a weak wedge front will keep much of Georgia under a thick cloud blanket through the first half of the week, holding temperatures below seasonal norms.
☁ What’s Happening: The National Weather Service says mid- and upper-level tropical moisture combined with a weak wedge front will generate widespread cloud cover, especially in the mornings. That blanket overhead will keep daytime highs cooler than usual for August.
🌡 Why It Matters: With the sun struggling to break through, highs will continue to sit below average early this week.
🌀 Why This Should Catch Your Attention: Cooler air means easier mornings for outdoor work, jogging, and errands. But the humidity will still be there, and lawns or gardens may see slower growth without direct light.
📅 What’s Next: By mid-to-late week, cloud cover should decrease as more southwesterly flow develops aloft. Expect a shift toward warmer afternoons and more sunshine heading into the weekend.
🌱 Take Action: Use the cooler early-week weather to get outdoor chores done before the warmth returns. Keep an eye on humidity indoors, as the cloud cover can hold moisture in the air.
