North Georgia Braces for Soggy, Windy Week After Mild Stretch

ATLANTA – After enjoying a period of unseasonably mild weather, North Georgia residents are in for a rude awakening as a cool, wet, and breezy pattern settles in, lasting through the middle of the week.

The FOX 5 Atlanta Storm Team is forecasting increasing rain chances beginning late Sunday and continuing through Monday, accompanied by gusty winds that could reach 25-30 mph today and up to 35 mph in some areas, especially near the South Carolina border.

“Steadier rain will develop overnight, creating fantastic sleeping weather, but horrible morning commute and bus stop weather,” Meteorologist Alex Forbes warned. He added that the rain could be heavy at times, particularly south of I-20, although widespread thunderstorms are not expected.

While the heavier rain will taper off to scattered showers by Tuesday, cloudy and misty conditions are likely to persist. Another round of widespread rain is anticipated for Wednesday afternoon, potentially lingering into early Thursday before clearing out.

This cool, damp, and breezy “wedge pattern” will keep temperatures 10-15 degrees below average, with highs topping out near 60 degrees in Atlanta and even cooler in the mountains from Monday through Thursday. Rainfall totals are expected to range from one to two inches for most of North and Central Georgia, with isolated areas potentially reaching three inches.

The good news? The system is expected to clear out by Halloween, offering classic fall weather for trick-or-treating, with temperatures likely in the 50s.
