Residents across Northwest Georgia should prepare for a potentially wet and stormy weekend from Friday, August 22nd, through Sunday, August 24th, 2025, before a noticeable cooling and drying trend ushers in the start of the new week. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are anticipated, with a low risk of severe weather but a possibility of isolated flooding.

Temperatures through Sunday are expected to remain in the mid-to-high 80s, feeling muggy due to the increased humidity. A significant shift is then forecast for Monday, August 25th, bringing a refreshing drop in temperatures and a much-welcome reduction in rainfall chances.

Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of the upcoming forecast:

Friday, August 22nd: The unsettled weather begins on Friday, with scattered thunderstorms expected during the day, bringing a 40% chance of rain and a high near 82°F. Overnight, conditions remain cloudy with a 45% chance of rain, dropping to a low of approximately 71°F.

Saturday, August 23rd: Saturday looks to be the wettest day, with a 50% likelihood of light rain throughout the day and a high around 81°F. Light rain will likely persist into the night, with a 40% chance of precipitation and an overnight low of 70°F.

Sunday, August 24th: Sunday will see more scattered thunderstorms with a 45% chance of rain and a high near 81°F. However, a significant change is expected overnight as skies clear considerably, with only a 15% chance of rain and a cooler low of around 65°F – a hint of the approaching cool-down.

Monday, August 25th: The region can look forward to a much drier and cooler start to the week. Skies will be partly cloudy, and the chance of rain drops dramatically to 0% during the day, with a high near 79°F. Overnight, there’s a minimal 10% chance of rain, solidifying the new, refreshing weather pattern.

Forecasters emphasize that the highest chance for showers and thunderstorms each day from Friday through Sunday will be between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. While the overall risk of severe weather remains low, residents are advised to be aware of the possibility of isolated flooding in particularly saturated or low-lying areas.

Looking beyond Monday, the cooler trend is anticipated to continue as the week progresses. Daytime high temperatures are expected to settle comfortably into the 70s and 80s, and overnight lows will consistently drop into the low 60s, offering a pleasant change from the late-summer heat. Residents should prepare for the potential for wet conditions this weekend, secure any outdoor items, and stay updated on the latest forecast.
