After weeks of warm, humid conditions, a refreshing change is arriving across northwest Georgia this week.
A backdoor cold front moving south into the region will bring noticeably cooler temperatures and lower humidity, creating conditions that will feel more like spring than the first week of meteorological summer. Before the cooler air fully settles in, however, a few isolated thunderstorms could develop Tuesday afternoon and evening.
