Augusta, Georgia is set to experience a week of sunny conditions and warm temperatures, with highs expected to reach up to 90°F by Friday. The forecast indicates mostly clear skies and dry weather, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities.
The weather update, released on September 4, 2025, shows that winds will be blowing from the south-southwest at speeds of 5 to 10 mph. Night temperatures will drop to around 68°F, with light and variable winds providing a comfortable evening atmosphere.
Temperatures this week are expected to remain cooler than average, with highs in the middle 80s through Tuesday.

The lows will range from the upper 50s on Tuesday, shifting to lower 60s on Wednesday, and stabilizing in the mid to upper 60s by Thursday and Friday morning.
Looking towards the weekend, significant changes in weather patterns are anticipated. Meteorologist Alex Carter points out that as the jet stream shifts northward, a return to summer-like warmth is likely for the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). High temperatures may approach the low to mid 90s from Friday to Sunday, accompanied by plenty of sunshine each day.
There is a slight chance of stray showers on Wednesday and Thursday due to a weak front passing to the north. However, most areas in the CSRA are expected to stay dry, with any precipitation primarily affecting southern Georgia and northern Florida. A cold front is forecast to arrive on Sunday, bringing the possibility of hit-or-miss storms in the afternoon and evening.
This year, Labor Day in Augusta is expected to be pleasant, with mild temperatures anticipated without the extreme heat often seen in the past. Historically, the average high temperature for Labor Day has been around 89.7°F, with extremes reaching up to 101°F or as low as 78°F. The current forecast predicts temperatures in the low to mid 80s, paired with lower humidity, creating favorable conditions for outdoor gatherings such as barbecues or trips to the lake.
The weather will continue to be closely monitored, especially regarding the formation of Tropical Storm Gabrielle in the Atlantic Basin. Although it is currently not a concern for the U.S., meteorologists will keep an eye on future developments. Fortunately, there are no significant weather threats expected for the CSRA over the next 5 to 7 days, allowing residents to enjoy the upcoming good weather.
