This week’s forecast for Northwest Georgia is raising concerns as continued dry and unusually warm conditions are expected to prolong—and potentially worsen—ongoing drought conditions across the region.

Rain chances will stay fairly limited today across Chattooga County and the rest of Northwest Georgia, but a wetter pattern is expected to move in as the weekend continues.

A cold front moving through the region will bring a return to more seasonal temperatures across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia by Tuesday, with only minimal rain expected in the short term.

Northwest Georgia is getting the coldest day of the week today as strong northwesterly winds keep a sharp chill in place even with sunshine overhead. Morning wind chills across Chattooga County and surrounding communities are running in the teens, with the coldest spots in the region dipping into the single digits, especially in higher elevations. High temperatures this afternoon will stay mostly in the 40s locally, while the mountains hold in the 30s, and it will still feel wintry through the day as breezy conditions continue.
