Atlanta, GA – Relief from dry conditions is expected later this week across Georgia, as the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts a strong chance of rain and thunderstorms moving into the region beginning Thursday.
According to the NWS in Peachtree City, a system arriving in North and Central Georgia will increase the likelihood of showers and storms by late Thursday, with rain chances climbing as high as 70%. The risk will remain elevated into Friday before tapering off into the weekend.
Forecasters noted that while some storms may be strong, widespread severe weather is not currently anticipated. A cold front trailing the system will also push through, bringing drier and cooler air by Saturday and Sunday.
After weeks of limited rainfall, the expected precipitation should provide relief for parched ground across much of the state. However, forecasters advise residents to stay alert for updated storm details, including any localized severe weather threats, as conditions may shift in the coming days.
The NWS projects a notable drop in rain chances after Friday, with a much cooler and more comfortable weekend in store for Georgia residents.
