AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - FIRST ALERT ISSUED FOR TODAY & FRIDAY. Heat in effect until 7PM for the entire CSRA. We will also have the risk for isolated severe weather. Stay hydrated, cool, and weather aware the next few days!
Another day of extreme heat - heat advisories in place for a good portion of the CSRA through 7 pm this evening. Heat index values will be near 106°-110° this afternoon. Isolated showers and storms will be possible through this evening into early tonight. Some storms could be strong.
Hotter than average temperatures are expected with highs in the upper 90s and feel like temperatures near 110°. Isolated severe storms will be possible in the afternoon and evening. Storms will be moving in from the north and drop south through the region. Main concern with storms is strong wind gusts and frequent lightning.
Friday looks similar to today with dangerous heat and isolated severe storms. Afternoon highs will be back in the mid to upper 90s and feel like temps near 110°. Isolated severe storms are possible later in the day for similar threats of wind and lightning.
A cold front will approach the region this weekend and increase storm chances. Scattered storms are expected Saturday and Sunday afternoon. With higher rain chances, highs should be slightly cooler in the low to mid-90s.
We are monitoring a disturbance in the Atlantic that could turn into our next named storm later this weekend into next week. This system should be near the Florida coast Sunday. Right now, there is no immediate threat to the CSRA, but it is something we are monitoring that could influence our weather past this weekend. Keep it here for updates the next few days.
