Unseasonably Warm Weather in Savannah Leading Up to Rainy Weekend

Hey there, Savannah! If you’ve been stepping outside lately, you might have noticed that the weather has been feeling a tad warmer than usual. This beautiful Southern city is basking in unseasonably warm temperatures, and it looks like the good times will roll right into the weekend before some changes come our way!

Sunny Skies and Warm Temperatures

Today, expect a delightful mix of sun and clouds. If you’re planning to head out, just remember, you might feel a little breeze with gusts reaching up to 20 miles per hour. High temperatures this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 80s, especially if you’re a bit farther from the coast. That’s about ten degrees over the average we usually see this time of year! So, whether you’re out for a casual stroll or picking up some groceries, don’t forget your sunglasses!

As we roll into the evening, temperatures will still be quite comfy, settling into the 70s after sunset. Perfect for those evening outings or just lounging on the porch—Savannah really knows how to show off, doesn’t she?

What’s in Store for Sunday?

Sneaking a peek into Sunday, we start the morning with temperatures in the 60s, and it looks like we’re in for another day of those balmy mid to upper 80s in the afternoon. But hold onto your hats—breezier conditions will kick in, bringing gusts that could reach up to 25 miles per hour. While it might be mostly dry with a blend of sunshine and clouds, the winds could make it feel a bit more invigorating. Great for kite flying or maybe an impromptu picnic, right?

Rain is on the Horizon for Monday

But, as we know, no weather pattern stays sunny forever! Monday is bringing widespread rain to our Coastal Empire and Lowcountry areas. Expect a gentle start with low temperatures hanging in the mid to upper 60s, climbing to a high in the lower 80s before the cold front sneaks in. By the afternoon and into the evening, anticipate a rain shower or two, and watch out for an isolated risk of stronger storms. The Storm Prediction Center has slapped on a Marginal Risk (that’s a 1 out of 5) for any severe weather. Stay tuned and be prepared, Savannah!

Rainfall might range from half an inch to an inch in various communities, so maybe stock up on those umbrella supplies!

Cooler Days Ahead

As the rain clears out, Tuesday is shaping up to be a bit damp in the morning with cooler, compressed air coming in behind the front. Expect temperatures near 50 degrees in the morning and only hitting around 70 degrees by the afternoon. Wednesday morning will likely see those temperatures plunge into the 40s, but don’t worry—things are looking up with beautiful sunshine and highs creeping back into the upper 60s. It’s a classic Savannah spring, folks!

Pollen and Flu Update

For those with allergies, be aware that grass pollen levels are currently soaring. But on the bright side, air quality is rated as satisfactory, and the flu risk in the area remains very low. Small victories are still victories, right?

Looking Ahead

And remember, strong storms may be lurking just around the corner later this week, particularly between March and May, which is prime time for tornado risks in Georgia. On another note, mark your calendars because St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 is projected to be absolutely gorgeous with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 60s. Perfect for the parade!

Enjoy this warm weather while it lasts, Savannah, and stay prepared for the shifts that are coming! Whether you’re out soaking in the sunshine or bracing for the rain, there’s always something to appreciate in our beautiful city.
