Northwest Georgia residents should exercise caution during their morning commute as areas of fog are reducing visibility to a half-mile or less in some areas. The National Weather Service advises drivers to be aware of the potential for reduced visibility, especially before 9:00 AM. Relief is on the way, however. A frontal boundary pushing in from Alabama and Tennessee will bring a drying trend to the region over the next few days. While Northwest Georgia might see a few passing showers as the front moves through, the overall chance of rain today remains low. Expect mostly cloudy skies to gradually become sunny with a high near 85 degrees. Unfortunately, the respite from rain will be short-lived. Forecasts predict a return to widespread rain and thunderstorms over the weekend and into early next week as moisture increases across the Southeast. The primary weather pattern through Thursday will be daily rain and thunderstorm chances, peaking during the afternoon and evening hours. Adding to the potential for stormy conditions, another mid-level disturbance moving quickly through the Ohio Valley between Friday and Saturday will further enhance moisture return, increasing shower and thunderstorm chances throughout the weekend.
