Overview
- Tuesday will be the most comfortable day this week with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 and the best chance for scattered showers or thunderstorms coming after 2 p.m.
- Strong downpours in those afternoon storms can produce localized flash flooding in urban and low-lying areas even though the overall severe-storm threat is low.
- Precipitation chances are forecast to fall through the rest of the week while temperatures climb back into the mid-90s and heat-index values are expected to reach the triple digits by Thursday and Friday.
- A SpaceX launch was scheduled for early Tuesday with a flight path favorable for Southeast Georgia viewing, but cloudy to partly cloudy skies likely limited local visibility.
- This pattern of brief heavy rain followed by intense heat is typical for the region in July and raises near-term needs for flood awareness and heat precautions such as staying hydrated, limiting outdoor exertion, and checking National Weather Service updates.
