Chattooga County is getting a welcome taste of fall this weekend, with sunshine, cooler temperatures and much lower humidity expected through Sunday.

A noticeable change in the weather settles into Northwest Georgia today as cooler and much drier air moves into the region, bringing what will feel like the first real taste of fall.

Unseasonably warm weather will continue across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia through Tuesday, with another round of afternoon thunderstorms possible before cooler, drier air arrives later in the week.

Summer-like heat will continue across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia Sunday, but a changing weather pattern is expected to bring increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms early this week followed by noticeably cooler temperatures by Wednesday and Thursday.

With temperatures still reaching the 90s in the middle of September, plenty of people around Chattooga County may be asking the same question: When is it finally going to feel like fall?
The short answer is — probably not just yet.
The forecast keeps afternoon temperatures around 90 degrees or higher through much of this week, and there is not yet a strong indication of a sustained cool-down.
That doesn’t mean a cold front couldn’t bring a couple of cooler mornings along the way. September in Northwest Georgia can quickly swing between summer-like heat and brief hints of fall.

A gloomy start across Northwest Georgia will give way to a much more comfortable weather pattern today as a front slowly pushes through the region.

Daily rain and thunderstorm chances will remain in the forecast through Tuesday, with a noticeable shift toward drier and cooler conditions expected by the middle and end of the week.
Forecasters say a Marginal Risk for severe weather remains in place through tonight for parts of north Georgia, including areas that could be impacted by a weakening line of storms moving in from the north. The main concern will be a low-end risk for strong to damaging wind gusts, especially if the storm complex is able to hold together as it moves southward.

Northwest Georgia residents can expect a few scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday before a stretch of cooler, drier weather settles into the region through midweek.

Rain will continue pushing out of Northwest Georgia this morning as a cold front moves away from the region. Behind it, high pressure will build in across Tennessee and North Georgia, bringing drier and cooler conditions through Friday.
