AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Sunny and windy this afternoon, highs in the middle 50s. Wind will be from the northwest 15 to 20 mph with 25 to 30 mph gusts possible.

Dry weather will continue Tuesday ahead of another very wet storm system that will deliver another round of significant rain and possibly thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday. We will need to monitor that storm system for the potential for severe weather on Wednesday.

Tuesday will be a chilly day with morning lows in the middle to upper 20s and afternoon highs in the upper 50s. Clouds increase Tuesday night ahead of the next cold front that will bring another round of significant rain and possibly thunderstorms late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Temperatures will be very warm ahead of that system with morning lows in the upper 40s Wednesday with afternoon highs approaching 70 degrees.

It is still too early to tell for sure, but we are monitoring for the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday as the cold front passes through.
