AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Temperatures will be noticeably cooler today with highs in the 70s. Temperatures will stay below average for the next 7 days. Daily rain chances continue into upcoming week.
A pattern meteorologists refer to as the “wedge” will build in. This happens when surface high pressure builds into our north giving our region a cool northeasterly breeze.
