Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia can expect a return to wet weather as multiple rounds of showers move through the area today and into Saturday.

Forecasters say rain is already pushing in from Alabama early Friday, with periods of showers continuing throughout the day. While most of the activity will be light to moderate rain, a few isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially during the afternoon hours.

The unsettled pattern will stick around through Saturday as a stalled front lingers across the region, keeping conditions cloudy and damp. Rainfall totals in Northwest Georgia are expected to be lighter than areas to the south, generally around a half-inch or less.

Temperatures will also trend cooler than normal, with highs both days only reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s, and overnight lows dipping into the upper 40s and 50s.

By Sunday, drier air moves back in as high pressure builds, setting up a warmer and quieter start to next week.

However, rain chances are expected to return by midweek, with the potential for more showers and thunderstorms, though details on timing and strength remain uncertain.
