Residents across Chattooga County can expect a taste of fall this weekend, with cooler temperatures, lower humidity and plenty of sunshine before warmer weather begins returning next week.

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.

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.

Another longtime Northwest Georgia fall tradition gets underway this week as the Northwest Georgia Regional Fair opens Friday in Gordon County.

The Chattooga County Agricultural Fair has wrapped up for another year, but residents who enjoy the sights, sounds and food of a fall fair still have plenty of opportunities ahead.
