Increasing chances of rain in North Georgia Friday afternoon

Atlanta, GALocal News

North Georgia faces a warm and humid Friday, with initial light showers in northeast Georgia and heavier rain moving in after sunset. The likelihood of rain will decrease early Saturday, with isolated showers or thunderstorms during the morning hours. Temperatures will remain unusually warm for November, with highs reaching the mid-70s in Atlanta and near 80 degrees in parts of central Georgia. Saturday morning's low of 63 degrees could potentially break the record for warm overnight temperatures. Looking ahead, a stronger storm system is anticipated late Tuesday into Wednesday, raising concerns about travel disruptions for Thanksgiving.

However, the holiday itself is projected to be dry and cooler as unseasonably warm air exits the region. The ongoing weather patterns highlight the unusual warmth and rainfall for this time of year in North Georgia. Residents should prepare for possible travel impacts due to the expected rain next week.
