Heat, humidity, & a few thunderstorms for the holiday weekend...plus the latest on Hurricane Beryl
Heat, humidity, and a few thunderstorms are in the forecast for the extended holiday weekend. Feels like temperatures will be sweaty hitting the triple digits on Friday and Saturday.
The hottest day is likely to be Friday with highs in the mid-90s. Saturday will warm quickly before a few showers and thunderstorms develop.
Rain chances will favor inland locations on Saturday. If a have a beach day planned for Friday or Saturday, there's a good chance that you will see dry weather. Sunday will bring a better chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms to Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry.
Here is a quick overview of the holiday weekend forecast. The pick day for outdoor plans is Friday if you are hoping for a completely dry day in the Savannah area.
If you live south of the Altamaha River there's a 20-30% chance of a pop-up shower on Friday.
Hurricane Beryl continues its push towards the Yucatan of Mexico. A landfall is likely Friday morning. The storm will then emerge into the southern Gulf of Mexico where some restrengthening is possible. Here is the updated forecast track.
An area of interest is trailing Beryl in the Caribbean. This area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms has a low 10% chance of tropical development. Once Beryl is well inland early next week, we should see a lull in tropical activity that may last through mid-July.
