Chilly Weekend Ahead in Augusta as Winter Begins

AUGUSTA, GA: Get Ready for a Chilly Weekend Ahead!

Hey there, Augusta! As we roll into the weekend, it’s time to dig out those cozy sweaters and warm coats because a chilly cold snap is heading our way! With winter officially kicking off, we’re in for a gorgeous, albeit brisk couple of days. So, let’s talk about what you can expect weather-wise as we wrap up the last few weeks of December.

Winter is Here!

This Saturday marks the first day of winter, and what a way to usher in the season! We’ll be greeted with plentiful sunshine in the morning, but don’t let those bright rays fool you—temperatures are on the cooler side. We’re waking up to a nippy low of around 31 degrees, so make sure to bundle up before stepping outside!

As the day warms up a bit, we’ll see temps rising to a high of 53 degrees. That’s right, it’s a sunny afternoon with absolutely no chance of rain, so feel free to enjoy a stroll, perhaps with a warm beverage in hand! Just keep an eye on those north winds that will be blowing between 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday: Wrap Up Warm!

Now, moving on to Sunday, expect yet another day filled with sunny skies and clear horizons. It’s going to be another chilly morning—wake up to about 28 degrees when you get out of bed. Make sure you have your trusted winter gear at the ready!

As we enjoy another sunny afternoon, temperatures will only reach a high of 48 degrees. The lack of precipitation means it’ll be perfect weather to get outside! Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park or perhaps some holiday shopping, just remember, those northeast winds will still be blowing at 5 to 10 mph.

Monday: More of the Same!

What does Monday have in store for us? Well, it looks like we’re in for more sunny weather! The morning will start crisp yet again, with will see temperatures dipping down to 25 degrees. Yikes, grab that scarf!

As we move into the afternoon, expect a slight uptick in warmth, reaching a high of 49 degrees. Just like the weekend, chances for precipitation are sitting at a cozy *0%*—so no wet weather to dampen our plans!

Looking Ahead

Now, here’s an interesting tidbit to think about: as we look ahead to Christmas, there’s a possibility of a few light scattered showers creeping into our forecast. A weak cold air mass is expected to make its way over the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) just in time for the holiday, bringing those festive, albeit rainy vibes.

So, whether you’re planning a lovely Christmas gathering, festive outings, or simply staying cozy at home, be prepared for this little shift in weather. As always, it’s wise to keep an eye on those forecasts over the coming week.

All in all, it looks like a chilly but fine weekend ahead for us here in Augusta! Make sure to enjoy the sunny skies, and don’t forget to keep warm. Until next time, stay safe and embrace the winter air!
