A stretch of drier and more seasonable early-October weather is settling into northwest Georgia following the passage of a cold front, but forecasters say rain chances will return by the weekend as Gulf moisture begins moving back into the region.

Northwest Georgia is in for a significant weather change this weekend, with unseasonably warm conditions giving way to increasing rain chances, the potential for locally heavy rainfall and noticeably cooler temperatures by Sunday and early next week.

A stretch of pleasant, dry weather will continue across Chattooga County through the first part of the week, but temperatures are expected to climb back toward summerlike levels by midweek.

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.
