After weeks of warm, humid conditions, a refreshing change is arriving across northwest Georgia this week.

Residents of Northwest Georgia should prepare for continued chances of rain and thunderstorms through at least early next week, with forecasters warning that locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding remain the primary concerns.
