 Forecast Discussion

A fast moving storm develops in the Gulf of Mexico late tonight and moves into Georgia Saturday night. Rain is possible in the Aiken-Augusta area after 4pm Saturday. The best chance for rain is Saturday night and Sunday morning as the low pressure system moves northeast across extreme southern Georgia into the coastal waters of South Carolina. Rain amounts in the metro region could reach 1 inch. Up to 2 inches of rain is possible along the coast.

The low pressure system moves to the North Carolina Outer Banks by Sunday evening. Rain will diminish over our region late Sunday afternoon, though drizzle could continue through Sunday night.

High pressure provides sunshine and pleasant conditions for Monday and Tuesday.

A strong cold front brings the threat for a few showers Wednesday. Much cooler air arrives for Thanksgiving Day and Friday.
