Pushing 90 again, but cooler temperatures on the way

A few storms managed to pop-up in our eastern Georgia Counties yesterday; if you lived near the Chattahoochee or points west you were left high and dry. The opposite looks to be true today as a cold front approaches the area, setting the stage for a magnificent Memorial Day weekend.

TODAY:
A line of showers and storms in western Alabama and eastern Mississippi will break apart as it runs in to a more stable air mass. However, with daytime heating, we'll see a few more showers and storms blossom ahead of the front and get some of us wet. Some storms could be strong but nothing like they saw across the Central US the past few days. Highs before the showers/storms roll in top out in the upper 80s to low 90s.

TOMORROW:
A stray shower or two is possible tomorrow morning with the passage of the cold front. We'll still be on the muggy side with temperatures in the mid-upper 60s and dew points well into the 60s (right).

Once the cold front passes, the dew point will be the first thing to drop (left), meaning your Thursday evening will be one of the most pleasant we've seen in almost a week.


The second thing to take the plunge will be the temperatures as we'll dip into the upper 50s to low 60s Friday morning; a refreshing start for sure!




MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND:
It looks like my outlook from last Wednesday turned out to be pretty good. A trough will set up in the east and provide much of the East Coast with fantastic grilling/BBQ weather Friday through Sunday with highs in the low 80s here and mid 70s for northern Alabama/Georgia, low humidity and plenty of sunshine without the threat of rain. The heat will build a bit for Monday but we should fall short of 90 while staying dry.

END OF MAY:
A ridge looks to build across much of the southeast after Memorial Day which means we'll end the month on a dry note. An interesting for ya: we could get away without seeing a drop of rain through July 8th and still be above average for rainfall for the year! That's a good thing since we're likely to go 7-10 days without a hint of rain. It's time to start remembering to water those gardens!
