Mother's Day Brings Brighter Breaks for Many as Next Front Eyes Early Week

A returning cold front early this week renews rain with a low-end severe threat in parts of the Southeast.

Overview

  • Many areas dried out Sunday with sunshine and highs from the 60s to 80s, following Saturday's widespread rain and evening thunderstorms.
  • A cold front due Monday and Tuesday will trigger new showers and storms and send temperatures lower in parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes.
  • The Storm Prediction Center places Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry under a marginal, level 1 of 5, severe risk on Monday with gusty winds and heavy downpours the main concerns.
  • Rainfall will be uneven, though parts of North Florida and coastal Georgia could see near an inch, offering some help where drought has been severe.
  • For plans, Sunday offers long dry stretches with only isolated pop-up showers, then Monday's storm timing looks uncertain and could affect afternoon and evening activities in some locales.
