A cold front moved into Northwest Georgia early Sunday, bringing only limited rainfall to Chattooga County and surrounding areas. While a few scattered showers passed through during the morning hours, most communities across the region are expected to receive very little rain, with many spots seeing less than a tenth of an inch. Even in the areas that pick up the most rainfall, totals are not expected to be enough to make a meaningful dent in the ongoing dry conditions.
