A cold front moving through Georgia is bringing noticeably cooler and less humid conditions to Northwest Georgia today, ending the recent stretch of hot and stormy weather.

Forecasters say thunderstorms that moved through the state overnight have come to an end, with only a few lingering showers farther south in central Georgia. The front is expected to continue pushing south during the day, allowing cooler and drier air to settle into Northwest Georgia, including Chattooga County.

High temperatures today are expected to reach only the low to mid-80s, with lower humidity levels making it feel much more comfortable than recent days. Unlike areas farther south in Georgia, rain and thunderstorms are not expected across Northwest Georgia today, giving the area a quieter and more pleasant June afternoon.

The cooler pattern is expected to continue into Tuesday as another weather disturbance moves northward and tropical moisture increases across the region. Widespread cloud cover and better rain chances will help keep temperatures well below typical mid-June levels. Highs on Tuesday may only reach the upper 70s to lower 80s, offering welcome relief from the heat.

Some parts of Georgia could see pockets of heavier rainfall Tuesday, especially where moisture interacts with the stalled frontal boundary. While severe weather is not expected to be a major concern, any stronger summertime storm could still produce brief gusty winds and heavy downpours.

Looking ahead to the latter part of the week, meteorologists are monitoring a developing area of low pressure that could bring additional tropical moisture into Georgia. The system remains uncertain, but forecasters say rain chances will likely increase late in the week and into the weekend.

If deeper tropical moisture moves into the area, locally heavy rainfall could become possible. Temperatures are expected to remain near or slightly below seasonal averages because of increased clouds and rain chances, though there may be a brief window Thursday when heat index values climb again in parts of the state.

For now, Northwest Georgia can expect a cooler, more comfortable start to the week, with more unsettled weather possible by mid-to-late week.
