Wednesday morning weather forecast
Rain chances will rise later Wednesday as thunderstorm chances increase across North Georgia.
ATLANTA - Rising rain chances and thicker cloud cover will offer relief from extreme heat this week across northern Georgia as a stalled cold front draws in deep tropical moisture.
What we know:
A lingering cold front is creeping closer and stalling out over the region.
Tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Bertha is getting pulled into this frontal boundary, increasing thunderstorm coverage through Saturday.
While Wednesday begins with a light 20% chance of showers late morning, storm activity will pick up during the afternoon and evening hours.
The influx of clouds and rain will drop daytime high temperatures into the low 80s on Friday and Saturday. Scattered downpours can quickly dump an inch or more of rain in localized spots.
Offshore, Tropical Storm Bertha sits about 50 miles off the Gulf Coast.
The system is generating tropical storm force winds, 1 to 4 feet of coastal storm surge, and 1 to 4 inches of rain along the coastline from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana.
What we don't know:
Forecasters cannot pinpoint the exact neighborhoods that will see the heaviest rainfall, as stalled fronts create unpredictable, localized downpours.
Weather models show rain chances dropping off significantly going into next week, allowing high temperatures to heat back up into the low 90s.
