Tropical depression expected to impact Georgia

A new tropical depression in the Caribbean is expected to bring wet and windy weather to North Georgia this weekend, according to Channel 2 Action News.

After a dry streak, metro Atlanta could see rain this weekend, the news station reported.

There is a 20 percent chance of rain Saturday and a 70 percent chance Sunday.

And the rain is expected to continue early next week, Channel 2 reported.

Tropical Depression 16 is forecast to become Hurricane Nate.

“The extent of the winds and the amount of rain is something we’ll be fine-tuning here over the next several days,” Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

The tropical depression is expected to become a hurricane Wednesday. It is heading toward the Gulf Coast, Nitz said.
