Fewer Showers the next few days | News

It is a much quieter night tonight than it was last night.  The showers that were scattered around the area earlier this afternoon and evening have diminished.  Only a couple of showers remain in parts of NW Georgia Saturday night.  We had vivid lightning and loud thunder last night in some areas.  We won't be dealing with any loud storms tonight!

We will also have fewer showers as we go through the next few days.  The chance for rain isn't totally gone, just lower!  A couple of things will be changing to give us some slight adjustments in our weather.  We will have some slightly drier air moving in on Sunday.  We also have an area of high pressure that is getting a little stronger over us.  That high will help to suppress most of the thunderstorm activity.  We still have a chance to see an afternoon thunderstorm Sunday, but the rain chances go down to 30%.  Some of our computer models have the chances for rain on Sunday less than 20%!  I'm sticking with 30% here.  As highs get up to 90 Sunday afternoon and with some moisture in place, I still think a few showers or storms are possible scattered around the area.

The chance for rain goes down a little more on Monday and Tuesday.  We will have a 20% chance of an afternoon shower those days.  Temps will continue to get warmer with some additional sunshine breaking through the clouds.  We will be in the low to some mid 90s for next week.
