As we approach the nation’s 250th birthday, the weather looks to cooperate for the most part. However, there is one thing that will be certain, it will be hot.
For most of the day, skies look to be partly cloudy with a small chance to see some pop-up showers or storms. If they are to appear, they will likely be short lived. The chance for rain will also dwindle as the sun goes down.
The big story will be the heat.
Butts, Jasper, Putnam, and Hancock counties are under a Heat Advisory until July 4th at 8 PM.
This means that heat index values could reach 105 degrees or above.
Even if you’re not included in a Heat Advisory, it will be hot.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST 10 AM
The heat index values, or the feels like temperatures, around 10 AM are forecasted to already be in the low 90’s.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST 4 PM
By the time we make it to the peak heating of the day, the feels like temperatures are forecasted to be in the low 100’s.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST 9 PM
When it’s time to shoot off fireworks, it’s forecasted to still feel like the low 90’s to the upper 80’s.
HEAT RISK FOR MIDDLE GEORGIA
Most of Middle Georgia is under a major risk for heat risks on Saturday. This means that you should take plenty of breaks and drink plenty of water. Also make sure to listen to your body.
If you plan on traveling up to Atlanta, they will be an even higher risk, an extreme risk.
Overall, it will be a very hot day with a small chance to see some rain and storms.
