LATEST WEATHER FORECAST & ALERTS
What we know:
Saturday should start generally dry, with some sunshine peeking through the clouds. The afternoon will be very warm, but showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous as the day goes on.
Severe storms are not expected to be the main concern, though storms could bring periods of heavy rain, thunder and lightning. Keep an indoor backup plan ready if you’re heading out later in the day.
Sunday brings the bigger soaking
Sunday’s forecast leaves much less room for outdoor activities. A broad area of rain is expected to settle over North Georgia for most of the day, bringing steady rainfall that could be heavy at times.
The clouds and rain will also hold temperatures down compared with Saturday.
A front moving into Georgia and stalling over the weekend will help keep the wet weather around. Rain chances will continue into Monday before the region begins moving toward a more fall-like pattern.
