Afternoon, evening storms possible with highs in the low 90s

A few isolated storms may pass through Atlanta on Saturday, but it will mostly be cloudy and hot.

We’ll see a dry start to the day with a low of 75 degrees. There will be lots of sunshine and a few clouds before more cloud cover moves in by the afternoon, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

The afternoon high will reach 92 degrees, and with the increasing heat, some activity will start to pop up.

Isolated storms will pass through parts of south and east metro Atlanta. The city and parts of North Georgia will remain dry. The rain is due to a minor cold front that will move into the state on Saturday and continue moving south on Sunday, according to Nitz.

“We’ll have some scattered afternoon to evening showers and storms over the next few days,” Nitz said.

More showers are expected Sunday, but rain chances will still remain low at 30%. Overnight lows will dip slightly, and the high will top off at 92 degrees again.

By Monday afternoon, metro Atlanta will have seen less than an inch of rain. Parts of east and central Georgia could get up to 2 inches of rain, and parts of South Georgia could receive between 4 to 6 inches due to a tropical system, according to the National Weather Service. If the system strengthens into a tropical storm, it will be named “Debby.”

That tropical storm will mainly impact the eastern Florida panhandle and the Big Bend region. But parts of southwestern Georgia could see significant flooding and rain, the NWS reported early Saturday. Waterways may overspill, causing flood waters to enter structures.
