A soggy weather pattern will remain in place across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia through the weekend, with daily chances for showers and thunderstorms and the potential for periods of heavy rainfall.

Wednesday will bring cooler conditions, but temperatures are expected to slowly climb again heading into the weekend. Cloud cover and lingering moisture will help keep temperatures down early, while afternoon heating could still trigger scattered storms.

The best chance for widespread rain is expected Thursday and Friday as deeper tropical moisture moves across Georgia. Forecasters say some areas could see repeated rounds of rain, raising the concern for localized flooding.

Rainfall totals through the end of the week could reach several inches in parts of Georgia, especially west and central portions of the state. Stronger storms may also bring lightning, gusty winds, and a brief isolated tornado threat.

A front moving through late Friday into Saturday may bring a short break in the rain before another disturbance increases rain chances again late Sunday.
