Northwest Georgia is getting the coldest day of the week today as strong northwesterly winds keep a sharp chill in place even with sunshine overhead. Morning wind chills across Chattooga County and surrounding communities are running in the teens, with the coldest spots in the region dipping into the single digits, especially in higher elevations. High temperatures this afternoon will stay mostly in the 40s locally, while the mountains hold in the 30s, and it will still feel wintry through the day as breezy conditions continue.

Keep the umbrella handy across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia today as a weather system brings widespread rain showers with occasional thunderstorms. The steadiest rain is expected through the daytime hours, and while the more significant severe weather threat is aimed farther south in Georgia, brief heavier downpours and isolated lightning are still possible locally at times.
