ATLANTA - North Georgia is waking up to cool conditions Thursday, but forecasters say warmer afternoons are ahead with plenty of sunshine.

What we know:

Morning lows ranged from the low 50s in Blairsville to the mid-50s in Carrollton and the mid-60s in downtown Atlanta. By the afternoon, temperatures are expected to climb into the mid- to upper 80s under mostly clear skies.

The National Weather Service says conditions will remain largely dry. A few isolated raindrops could develop in the northern counties late in the day, but forecasters expect most of the precipitation to evaporate before reaching the ground due to dry air.
