Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia can expect warm and mostly dry weather today as a dry air mass remains in place across the region. Skies will be mostly sunny, with only some high clouds and fair-weather clouds developing during the afternoon.

High temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s across the area, while overnight lows will only fall into the low to mid 60s. Most communities will remain rain-free today, though an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out near the Georgia-Alabama line.

Rain chances will begin increasing Wednesday as a weak cold front approaches North Georgia. Scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are expected through the end of the week and into the weekend, especially across North and Northwest Georgia.

Forecasters say the pattern will become more summer-like, with warm and muggy conditions and hit-or-miss storms each day. While any rainfall will be welcome, the scattered nature of the storms is not expected to bring widespread drought relief.
