The first of two cold fronts is moving through metro Atlanta this evening.  This front has some rain and even a few thunderstorms with it.  The thunderstorms are falling apart as they move to the east.  A few showers late afternoon dumped between a quarter and a half inch of rain in some spots.  This first front mainly has rain with it ahead of the front, with a wind shift line behind the front.  The wind will begin coming out of the northwest as the front passes.

Showers are getting better organized late afternoon into evening.  The radar image shows 2 areas of rain that we are watching.  The rain in circle #1 contains light to moderate and even some pockets of heavy rain in some spots.  These showers are moving toward the east.

The rain in circle #2 also contains some heavy rain.  This line of showers has more lightning with it.  This is the line developing along the front that is moving in tonight.  There isn't anything considered "severe" with these storms.  Just expect some heavy rain when the line passes through and some thunder and lighting.  We are averaging about 25 strikes in a 15 minute period along that entire second line.

Clouds increasing today with a few isolated showers, mainly in the second half of the day. High temperatures will be warm around 80 degrees in most spots. Southwest winds between 5-15mph, gusting up around 20mph.

Tonight shower chances increase and a few thunderstorms are possible, otherwise cloudy skies. Overnight low temperatures will be in the low 60s.

Showers and thunderstorms off and on Saturday with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. West wind between 5-10mph, gusting up around 15mph.
