Discussion:
Today will be another steamy one with highs in the mid 90s, but it will feel more like the triple digits. Heat advisory in effect for Richmond County from noon until 8pm. A significant pattern change will finally bring some relief from the heat, but it will also bring the threat of localized flooding. A cold front will approach the region from the northwest later today. This will lead to increased showers and storms beginning tomorrow. The severe threat is low, but not zero with damaging wind and flooding rain the biggest concern as the front slowly slides through the region. The front will stall over our area keeping rain and storm chances and the potential for heavy downpours in the forecast through early next week. Highs Thursday will top out in the low 90s, with cooler temperatures arriving Friday with highs in the mid to upper 80s through early next week due to the extra cloud cover and rain. Expect 1-2 inches of rain through the end of the week with an additional 1-2 inches of rain this weekend.
