Residents of Northwest Georgia awoke to unseasonably pleasant temperatures this morning, with readings in the low 60s and even dipping into the upper 50s in higher elevations. The refreshing start comes ahead of rising temperatures expected later today and a weekend forecast dominated by rain. A frontal boundary is currently moving slowly across the region, bringing with it a mix of conditions. Areas along and north of the boundary are experiencing mostly clear skies and some morning fog, while central Georgia is seeing scattered showers and thunderstorms. The forecast for today calls for mostly sunny skies with highs reaching the upper 80s. Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low around 64 degrees and calm winds. Thursday brings a 40% chance of showers, with the likelihood increasing to showers and thunderstorms after 2 PM. The day will be partly sunny with a high near 87. The chance of precipitation remains elevated heading into the weekend. Thursday night has a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2 AM, followed by a slight chance of showers. Friday will be mostly cloudy with a 70% chance of showers, becoming likely showers and thunderstorms after 11 AM. The high is expected to be near 87. Unfortunately for outdoor plans, the unsettled weather pattern is expected to continue through the weekend, with a high probability of rain on both Saturday and Father’s Day Sunday.
