Residents across Northwest Georgia and Chattooga County can expect another warm day Monday, with afternoon highs climbing into the upper 80s and lower 90s.

According to the National Weather Service, only a few isolated thunderstorms are expected this afternoon near the Georgia-Alabama border, and overall storm coverage should remain much lower than what the area experienced Sunday.

Forecasters say high pressure over the region will limit widespread storm development through Tuesday. Winds are expected to remain out of the south at 5 to 10 mph, with overnight lows settling into the mid-60s.

Rain chances are expected to increase beginning Wednesday as a cold front approaches North Georgia. The front is expected to stall near the area later in the week, bringing a higher chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms through the upcoming weekend.

The greatest storm coverage is expected across the northern half of Georgia, including Northwest Georgia and Chattooga County. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated at this time, forecasters say a few strong storms and periods of heavy rainfall cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures are expected to remain above normal through the week, although increased cloud cover and storm activity could bring slightly cooler afternoons later this week.
