Spring Turns Stormy: Georgia Hit with Surprise Thunderstorms Monday!

Spring Turns Stormy: Georgia Hit with Surprise Thunderstorms Monday!

If you’ve been soaking up the sun this weekend, you’re not alone. Across Georgia, it’s felt more like early summer than spring, with highs climbing into the 80s and plenty of sunshine to go around. It’s been perfect weather for outdoor brunches, spring festivals, and getting that long-overdue yardwork done.

But — as it tends to go in Georgia — the weather’s about to pull a bit of a switch-up.

Monday: Keep the Umbrella Handy

Starting Monday afternoon, things could take a wetter turn. A cold front is expected to move in, bringing with it a 60% chance of showers and a few thunderstorms, especially later in the day. It won’t be a washout, but those warm, sunny skies we’ve been enjoying might give way to dark clouds, gusty winds, and scattered downpours.

Some storms could be on the stronger side, with brief heavy rain and wind gusts that could knock around loose items in your yard. If you’re planning to be out and about Monday evening — or if your kids have after-school activities — it’s a good idea to stay weather-aware and check the radar before heading out.

A Quick Look Ahead

After Monday’s rain chance, things calm down a bit. Tuesday may still see a few lingering showers, especially early on, but by midweek, skies should clear, and we’re looking at more mild, comfortable spring weather. Temperatures are expected to dip slightly into the 70s after the cold front moves through — still pleasant, just not quite as warm as this weekend.

Here’s the Breakdown

  • Sunday: Sunny and warm, highs in the low-to-mid 80s.

  • Monday: Cloudier, with a good chance (60%) of storms in the afternoon/evening. Keep an umbrella nearby.

  • Tuesday: A few morning showers, then clearing and cooler.

So if you’re heading into the week with outdoor plans, Sunday is your best bet for sunshine. By Monday, it might be time to swap the sunglasses for a rain jacket — at least temporarily.
