From brown and parched to green and happy, our plants are loving this rain.
My little garden produces about a handful of tomatoes every other day and most of those actually make it to the kitchen. They’re so good. The rain in southeast Georgia is making very happy tomatoes. I was in Fitzgerald, GA on Sunday for a family reunion for my mother-in-law’s side of the family. A big thank you to Beth and Randy for the delicious tomatoes!
The southwest flow continues Tuesday and Wednesday with ample water in the atmosphere. The summer pattern continues with strong to isolated storms possible during the afternoon and evening, with gusty winds and localized flooding being the primary hazards.
The additional cloud cover and increasing rain chances will allow for slightly cooler temperatures over inland southeast Georgia. Elsewhere, high temperatures will reach the lower to mid 90s, with heat indices peaking around 100-105 degrees on Tuesday.
Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms through around 10 p.m.
Tuesday: Scattered showers with thunderstorms will develop along the Gulf and Atlantic sea breezes. Strong to isolated severe storms will be possible. Lows in the 70s with highs in the 80s and 90s. Rain chance 50-60 percent, mainly from around noon through 10 p.m. Wind: WSW 10-15 mph.
Wednesday: Showers with afternoon thunderstorms, 30-50 percent for NE FL, 50 to 60 percent for SE GA. Lows in the 70s. Highs in the 80s to low 90s. Wind: SW 10-15 mph.
Looking ahead: Fewer showers and storms Thursday and Friday. Scattered showers with storms expected Saturday with drier weather expected for the first day of summer and Father’s day.
Tropics: We are watching an area in the southern Gulf where a broad area of low pressure has developed and moved over Mexico. The low could further develop on Wednesday and Thursday. Formation chances have increased to 40 and 50 percent. https://www.news4jax.com/weather/2026/06/15/tropical-threat-looms-as-gulf-showers-move-toward-texas/
