Get this: Rain is coming! If you're a cussing person, you can direct *&^% to that durned old El Niño.
Surely you’ve heard of it? The warming-water patterns in the Pacific Ocean that walloped us with near-record rainfall last month are expected to push yet more rain across our region. It’s supposed to begin Thursday night, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Glenn Burns said.
A second system is expected Saturday. It should last through the night before dissipating Sunday.
Estimated weekend rain total: about a half-inch. Surely your yard needs it?
Meantime, we’ll have highs in the 50s, lows in the 40s. When the Sunday rain stops, said Burns, cooler temperatures will follow. Expect highs in the 40s next week, with lows in the upper 20s and low 30s.

It’s the way of winter in Georgia, say the experts at the National Weather Service. The Southeast will get rain, then cold weather, then more rain, then more cold weather, then …
Well, you get it.
There is a possibility that some moisture Sunday may linger in the north Georgia mountains. If that happens, folks up that way may get some flurries.
But not here, dear reader. All you can do is keep an umbrella close. And cuss.
