Chattooga County will close out September with sunshine and temperatures well above normal, but a major change in the weather pattern is expected by the weekend.

The National Weather Service says Wednesday will be sunny with a high near 89 degrees. Winds will be light, becoming southeast around 5 mph during the afternoon. Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a low around 61.

Forecasters say Wednesday’s temperatures across the region will run approximately 8 to 12 degrees above normal for the final day of September.

The warm weather continues Thursday with sunshine and a high near 90. Friday could be even warmer, with a high near 91 before moisture begins returning to the area. A 30% chance of showers develops Friday afternoon, increasing to 50% Friday night.

A much wetter pattern is expected for the weekend.

The chance of rain increases to 70% Saturday, with showers likely and thunderstorms possible during the afternoon. Rain chances climb to 80% Saturday night and Sunday.

The National Weather Service says Sunday will need to be watched for the possibility of stronger thunderstorms as a weather system moves through the region. Forecasters caution that details concerning the strength of the storms could change as the weekend gets closer.

Heavy rainfall could also become a concern. Current guidance indicates several inches of rain could be possible from Friday into early next week, potentially creating a risk of flash flooding in parts of north Georgia.

A 47-year-old man was arrested in Chattooga County after a deputy discovered he was wanted on three out-of-state warrants.

According to a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office incident report, Brian Taylor Lynn, 47, was spotted shortly after 2:14 AM on September 23 riding a black motorcycle north on Georgia Highway 114 near Raccoon Creek Road without lights.

The deputy followed the motorcycle and initiated a traffic stop in a private driveway near Charlie Street.

During the stop, Lynn provided identification, and a records check showed he had three outstanding warrants — one from Tennessee and two from Cherokee County, Alabama.

The deputy contacted Cherokee County authorities, who confirmed their warrants and advised that they wanted Lynn held for extradition.

Lynn was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Chattooga County Jail.

Students at Chattooga Mountain Education have two scholarship deadlines coming up tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30.

The Chattooga campus calendar lists Wednesday as the deadline for both the Home Depot Path to Pro Scholarship and the Coca-Cola Scholarship. Both applications are available online, with the Coca-Cola scholarship deadline listed for 5 PM Wednesday.

The scholarship opportunities are among several college and career resources being promoted to students through the local Mountain Education campus.

Chattooga Mountain Education provides an alternative path for students working toward an accredited high school diploma. Mountain Education describes its program as a student-centered, self-paced, evening public high school, allowing students to work toward graduation outside the traditional daytime high school schedule.

The Chattooga campus is located at 302 Maple Drive in Summerville. The campus phone number is 706-230-8937.

Wednesday will also be a busy day on campus beyond the scholarship deadlines. The calendar includes a Course Completion Incentive and a Trailblazer Charcuterie Experience for September 30.

Students interested in either scholarship should check with Chattooga Mountain Education or use the online application information provided through the campus calendar before Wednesday’s deadlines.
