North Georgia and Atlanta Metro Video Forecast: May 31, 2022

The remnants of Hurricane Agatha, the first Eastern Pacific system of the season, have a chance to develop later this week over the Bay of Campeche or the western Caribbean.

Agatha upon landfall Monday evening in southern Mexico was ripped apart by the high terrain of the region. While the system has lost its intensity and tropical characteristics, some of the energy from the system will reemerge over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico/western Caribbean around midweek.

As this energy moves over the warm waters of the region, it could slowly develop into a tropical system. Initially, development looks to be slow due to strong wind shear over the region. However, models suggest the wind shear will relax by late week, potentially allowing for a tropical depression or weak tropical storm to develop.

It’s uncertain where this broad area of low pressure could consolidate into a tropical cyclone and that will have an impact on the exact track. Regardless, it appears southern and possibly central Florida could see impacts in the form of tropical moisture so regardless of this system becoming tropical in nature, moisture should move into this region late week into the weekend.

The National Hurricane Center gives this system a 60% chance to develop into a tropical cyclone over the coming days. If it does develop, it should remain on the weak side. The 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins June 1.

Tropical development likely in the Gulf, impacts possible for Florida

The summer-like weather pattern continues for north Georgia with warm to hot temperatures and sticky dewpoints. Highs today will climb into the upper 80s for most areas with lower 90s for most of north Georgia by Wednesday.

Isolated storms are possible late this afternoon and evening, especially the closer you get to the Atlanta Metro but rain chances are around 20-30% so most areas will remain dry. But keep this in mind if you have any outdoor plans. Move indoors if you hear thunder or see lightning.

We dry out through the middle of the week as temperatures go up! Slight uptick in rain chances by the end of the week with a few degrees shaven off of the highs.

North Georgia & Atlanta forecast: Monday, May 30, 2022

Agatha became the first-named system in the eastern Pacific of the 2022 season on Saturday and since then has exploded in intensity, especially over the past 12 hours. Agatha was merely a tropical storm this morning and now is a borderline major hurricane.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to 110 mph (category 2) as of Sunday afternoon, just 1 mph shy of a major category 3 hurricane.

The hurricane is expected to make landfall Monday afternoon or evening in southern Mexico potentially as a major hurricane. The tropical cyclone will rapidly weaken over the higher terrain of southern Mexico by Tuesday.

Some of the energy from this system could reemerge over the Bay of Campeche or the western Caribbean late this week. This will be monitored closely over the coming days.

Only 5 hurricanes have ever achieved major status in the month of May in the eastern Pacific.
