Atlanta weather | Isolated showers overnight, but rain will pour later

Wednesday morning’s light rain and isolated evening showers were only the calm before the storm as more showers will come later in the week, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Scattered showeres are possible Wednesday night with temperatures heading into the low 70s.

There is a 30 percent chance of rain Thursday and an 80 percent chance Friday and Saturday.

Temperatures were 77 degrees in Atlanta, 70 degrees in Blairsville and 76 degrees in Griffin about 9 p.m.

Highs Thursday will reach 80 degrees.

Another round of showers will hit metro Atlanta Friday afternoon — much needed because Atlanta is in the thick of a moderate drought.

“A warm front continues to move to northeast, increasing our rain coverage for mid-afternoon on Friday,” Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns said.
