Keep your umbrella handy Tuesday, metro Atlanta. More rain is on the way, and afternoon storms with strong winds and lightning are possible, forecasters said.
Showers are expected to begin around lunchtime, according to Channel 2 Action meteorologist Karen Minton. By later in the afternoon, the slow-moving storms will cover much of the metro area, she said.
“It’s going to make for a rough commute for some of us,” Minton said.
The rain will keep temperatures a bit cooler. Highs Tuesday will reach the mid-80s before dropping into the lower 70s in the evening.
Showers are expected to continue Wednesday and Thursday, Minton said. There is a 70 percent chance of rain through Thursday.
“The tropical moisture is going to be here for several days,” Minton said.
