Showers are possible south and east of Atlanta on Wednesday morning, but rain will be scattered across the entire region later this afternoon, according to Channel 2 Action News.
It’s a good idea to pack an umbrella in the backpack Wednesday. Even though most areas are starting the day dry, Channel 2 meteorologist Brian Monahan is calling for a 40% chance of showers and storms by the time school dismissal rolls around.
“Southside, we’ve got a few showers this morning, he said. “You might need to put up that umbrella on a couple of bus stops. Later today, we will see scattered storms. We’re up to about 90 degrees for a high.”
Rain is falling from Hogansville to LaGrange to the south and from Covington to Madison to the east, but it’s all light stuff, Monahan said. There is a possibility showers will move into Gwinnett County by midmorning, he said, but the rest of metro Atlanta should stay dry through about lunchtime.
Between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., Monahan is expecting shower activity to increase all across North Georgia.
“We’re going to mix in some sun, just like yesterday, but the difference today is we get scattered showers and storms,” he said. “There are going to be some more storms around for your Wednesday, some showers around late tonight, and we’ll keep that pattern going with scattered storms in the forecast tomorrow.”
Thursday’s rain chance is also 40%, according to the latest forecast. The same can be said of this weekend, as North Georgia sticks to a summertime pattern of highs in the 90s and daily scattered storms.
