Residents of Chattooga County and northwest Georgia can expect another unsettled day of weather Tuesday as a slow-moving weather system continues to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms across the region. While the soaking rainfall has helped ease the recent stretch of extreme heat, forecasters say the pattern will gradually transition back to typical summertime conditions later this week, with temperatures climbing into the 90s and heat index values once again approaching or exceeding 100 degrees.

After several weeks of declining fuel prices, Georgia motorists are seeing a slight increase at the pump as higher crude oil prices and strong summer travel demand begin to push gasoline prices upward.
