For the last couple of weeks it’s been hard to find some shade from temperatures in the high 90s and heat advisory and air quality warnings. For this week in the Cobb area, there will be some relief, but not much.
Daytime temperatures in the 80s are expected to be the norm, along with the chance of thunderstorms all week.
The chances are on the low side, 30 to 40 percent through Wednesday, and then increasing to 50 percent by Wednesday and staying that way through the weekend.
With the threat of rain comes higher humidity as well—it’s around 70 percent already on Monday morning—so brace yourselves for that, as well as keep an umbrella handy.
Monday’s high is expected to be in the mid 90s, the highest it’s slated to be all week.
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for portions of central and north Georgia, including Cobb County, for Monday, with scattered to numerous thunderstorms in the forecast that could include gusty winds, lighting and local heavy rainfall.
Heat index values could reach between 100 and 105 degrees in some of those areas by Monday afternoon.
