WEDNESDAY’S WEATHER: Nice weather trend continues, but storms ‘round the corner

This week’s nice weather trend is continuing Wednesday in North Georgia after another chilly start.

Just like Tuesday, the day is starting with temperatures in the 30s and 40s with a warm-up into the mid-60s, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan.

There will be a few more clouds today, but it’ll be mainly dry with only a 20% chance of showers.

It’ll be a different story Thursday. While temperatures will creep into the upper 60s, a severe weather threat is looming across much of the state as a cold front pushes a wave of storms to the east.

“That includes all of North Georgia, from the mountains through metro Atlanta and down through the southside, so tomorrow is going to be a day to be weather aware,” Monahan said. “These storms are going to be timed for bus stop time coming home from school, coming home from work tomorrow. So could be a little tricky tomorrow.”

Damaging wind gusts and heavy rain are the main risks, but a brief spin-up tornado is possible, he said.

Temperatures will fall Friday once the line of storms passes, with highs staying in the 40s and mid-50s for the weekend and lows dipping into the 30s.
