TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — We get a taste of summer heat this weekend, just without the oppressive humidity.
A stalled front over middle Georgia will not be in a hurry to get to our part of the region Saturday, leaving any chance for a rush of cooler air out of our scene.
The lingering warmth stays with us this evening, with a slim chance for a stray pop-up shower in the Flint River region of southwestern Georgia; otherwise, scattered clouds and breaks of clear sky will be noticed before midnight. Readings will go from the upper 80s to the 70s before midnight, then temps slip to lows in the mid to lower 60s at sunrise. Patchy fog will develop in a few locations.
Any fog that forms will break with a few hours of warming Saturday morning, leading to broader sunshine and a steady temperature rise. We'll have several hours in the 80s by late-morning and afternoon, with peak temps inland in the lower 90s. Humidity levels will be noticeable, but not incredibly high. Either way, it will get pretty toasty in direct sunlight fairly quickly!
A spot shower is possible again in southwest Georgia, but widespread formation of rain and thunder is not expected.
Sunday will be partly cloudy and perhaps even hotter with highs around 89° to 94° after morning lows in the mid 60s. However, that front to the north will slide south and aid in triggering some late-day and evening pockets of rain and storms. Some storms will have locally heavy rain and possible hail and wind gusts.
Some of that activity will lurk around Monday, but the front will not bring temperatures down too much. Highs early next week will hover in the upper 80s to near 90° with widely scattered to isolated showers and storms in the afternoons.
