Daily Storms To Drench GA As Temperatures Warm

GEORGIA — April showers will make for a bumpy week in the Peach State. The National Weather Service predicts thunderstorms and showers daily through at least Saturday in or near metro Atlanta, Columbus and Savannah.

Weather officials say a stalled frontal boundary was expected push rainfall across north Georgia through Tuesday night.

The arrival of strong storms were anticipated Tuesday afternoon and evening, between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. There were no threats for tornadoes, hail or damaging winds so far.

However, frequent lightning, gusty winds and heavy rain could be factors with the storms, the NWS reported.

The most significant chance for storms will be after 11 a.m. Wednesday, which showed a 50 percent probability.

The rainfall this week will pour on days that will welcome near 90-degree temperatures. The NWS reported the hottest days could be Friday and Saturday, when the high temperatures may be 88 degrees.

Georgia joins several other U.S. states in experiencing daily storms. AccuWeather reported day-to-day storms in the central U.S.
