Northwest Georgia, including Chattooga County, is expected to experience calm and mostly dry weather through the rest of the week before a stronger blast of Arctic air arrives late Sunday into Monday.

Forecasters say no significant rainfall is expected through the end of next week. Today and Friday will feature cooler—but quiet—conditions as a post-frontal airmass settles over the region. Highs today will run about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, with a few wind gusts near 20 mph during the afternoon.

Friday morning starts off chilly with lows in the lower 30s, but a shift to southwest winds will bring warmer air into the area. Afternoon highs should climb into the lower 60s across much of north Georgia, including Chattooga County. No hazardous weather is expected to end the week.

A weak disturbance may bring a very isolated shower or two late Friday night into Saturday, but rain chances remain low—around 5–10%. Saturday temperatures will sit slightly above normal, with morning lows in the 30s and highs ranging from the mid-50s in far north Georgia to the upper 60s farther east.

Rain chances increase Saturday night as a cold front pushes into northwest Georgia. Scattered showers are expected overnight into early Sunday morning, with a brief wintry mix possible in the far northeastern mountains—but no significant accumulation is expected. Rainfall totals should remain light, generally under one-tenth of an inch.

Behind the front, sharply colder air arrives late Sunday into Monday. Forecast models continue to agree that temperatures may drop into the low 20s Monday morning, with some upper teens possible north of the I-85 corridor. High temperatures Monday are only expected to reach the low to mid-40s.

Conditions remain dry through Tuesday, with cold morning lows in the 20s and highs moderating into the upper 40s and 50s. A gradual warm-up is expected during the second half of next week.
