A wet and unsettled weather pattern continues across the region today, bringing periods of showers, embedded thunderstorms, breezy conditions, and the possibility of stronger storms later tonight.

Morning showers and storms are expected to gradually taper off, but a few rumbles of thunder and gusty winds may linger as the system moves through. Forecasters say breezy conditions could continue into the afternoon, especially along the back edge of the precipitation.

A brief break in the rain is possible for many areas later today, although isolated showers and a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, especially across parts of North Georgia. Temperatures will depend heavily on cloud cover, with some areas reaching the 70s while places that stay socked in may remain cooler.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms is possible later today and into early Thursday as a disturbance moves across the region. Some storms could become strong to marginally severe, with isolated damaging wind gusts being the main concern.

The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into the weekend. Friday looks cooler and mostly cloudy, with highs only reaching the 60s in many North Georgia communities. Widespread rainfall is possible Friday night into Saturday, with many areas potentially seeing one to two inches of rain.

By Sunday, drier and cooler air should move in, with morning lows dipping into the 40s and afternoon highs staying in the 60s across much of North Georgia.

People across Chattooga County and surrounding Northwest Georgia communities should stay weather-aware through tonight, especially if storms move in during the evening or overnight hours.
