Daily Forecast | The latest from First Alert Meteorologist Tim Strong

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Highs today will reach into the upper 60s to lower 70s and middle 70s Wednesday and Thursday. The first of a series of systems arrives today as a frontal system moves in from the west. Winds will be elevated ahead of the front, primarily out of the southwest between 8-12 mph with gust near and over 20 mph possible at times. A secondary system moves in Thursday with higher rain chances in comparison to Tuesday. Highs are expected to be in the middle 70s by Thursday, so there could be a few rumbles of thunder ahead of the front.

Skies will clear Friday with slightly cooler temperatures, then yet another system rolls in just in time to bring a chance of rain for the weekend. Temperatures are expected to return to near average by the weekend with afternoon highs in the upper 50s and lows in the mid to lower 40s Saturday night into Sunday morning.
