A few storms could reach severe limits. Marginal Severe Risk. Damaging wind gusts are the main risk. Level 2 risk in Georgia.
NEXT FEW DAYS: Are you ready for a nice change? Stand by.. Timing is everything. Behind the front, we’ll see some big improvements, starting tomorrow, just in time for what looks like a sensational Memorial Day Weekend. Low humidity, Sunshine. Comfortable nights. Really nice. Hotter Tuesday. Small risk of showers returns. Summerlike on the last day of May.
Should be great travel weather wherever your headed across the Southeast US on the Memorial Day Weekend. Upper Level High pressure is in control.
