Near-Record Warmth Holds Through Saturday Across the Southeast

Forecasts point to a late-week front that brings rain then a sharp cooldown with a risk of inland frost early next week.

Overview

  • Morning fog reduced visibility Wednesday before lifting, with additional patchy to dense fog likely again tonight into Thursday in several areas.
  • Highs run well above normal in the mid to upper 70s, with some inland spots reaching the low 80s and the potential to flirt with daily records Friday and Saturday.
  • Rain and a few thunderstorms are expected ahead of the front, with heavier totals possible in northwest Georgia and showers lingering into part of Saturday where the boundary moves slowly.
  • Timing varies by location, with central and south Alabama favored for impacts Friday night into Saturday and northeast Florida guidance leaning toward Sunday.
  • Temperatures are forecast to fall sharply behind the front by roughly 15 to 20 degrees, returning to seasonable levels with a light freeze or frost possible inland early next week.
