Chattooga County and the rest of northwest Georgia will get one more dry and unusually warm day today before a much more active stretch of weather arrives Sunday and Monday, followed by a sharp blast of cold air that could bring widespread freezing temperatures by the middle of next week. Forecasters say today will stay sunny, dry, and very mild, with afternoon temperatures climbing well into the 70s and possibly nearing 80 degrees in parts of northwest Georgia. That will make today the warmest and quietest day in the forecast before conditions begin changing quickly.
Sunny and calm weather will continue across north and central Georgia through Saturday, with temperatures quickly warming after a cool, frosty start Friday morning. High pressure will keep skies mostly clear while winds turn southerly, helping afternoon temperatures climb back into the 70s and even low 80s by Saturday — well above normal for mid-March.
A cold front that brought showers and thunderstorms across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia early Thursday morning is expected to move out of the area by early afternoon, leaving gusty winds and cooler air behind.
