After days of wet weather, Wednesday is starting out a little drier.
However, that won’t last very long. Rain is in the forecast once again, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan.
Good morning! We're off to a much drier start for now across north Georgia after some bigger storms popped back up again last night.

Headed toward overall drier weather for the weekend.

Right now, things are relatively comfortable in Atlanta, with temperatures in the mid-70s. Outdoor conditions are fairly dry, but a bit muggy with humidity at 90%.
“Yesterday we had showers. Yesterday we had some downpours. This morning, just a stray shower for the morning drive,” Monahan said.
That’ll change around noon, though, when the chance of rain increases to 20%. By 4 p.m., the chance of rain will be about 50%.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected across metro Atlanta, Monahan said. However, it won’t be a total washout.
“We will mix in some sunshine,” he said.
Most of us won't need an umbrella early this morning -- but have it handy for the afternoon!

The good news is that things should dry out by the weekend, according to Monahan. Saturday is predicted to have sunshine mixed with clouds, and temperatures in the low 90s.
“As you would expect in this part of July, it’s going to start to feel like it in the next couple of days,” Monahan said.
Traffic probably won't give you much trouble Wednesday, WSB 24-hour Traffic Center. The Traffic Center is reporting no major interstate hangups.
