Rain chances will increase across Chattooga County Saturday as a frontal system moves into northwest Georgia, bringing scattered thunderstorms before more widespread rainfall arrives Sunday.

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.

Northwest Georgia will get one more day of hot, dry weather Thursday before a significant change brings increasing rain chances and much cooler temperatures for the weekend.

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.
Temperatures will turn noticeably cooler behind the system. Sunday’s high is forecast near 78, followed by highs around 76 Monday and 74 Tuesday.

Sunshine and warmer temperatures are expected across Chattooga County Tuesday as dry high pressure remains in control of the weather.

Another hot and unsettled day is expected across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia today, but a significant change toward more seasonable late-September weather is on the way.
