People living in northern parts of Georgia, including Atlanta, can enjoy a rare sunny day this Wednesday. For a change, there will be less rain and more sunshine, especially in areas north of Interstate 20 (I-20), like Rome, Dalton, and Atlanta.
This will bring warmer temperatures and a chance to go outside and enjoy the weather.
Weather Update for North Georgia
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, the dry air will mostly affect places above the I-20 line. This means cities like Atlanta will see sunny skies and warm weather with temperatures going up to 88°F (around 31°C).
It’s a good chance for people to enjoy outdoor activities before the rain returns later at night.
Storms Continue in Southern Georgia
While the north gets a break from the rain, the south will still see storms. Cities like Macon, Dublin, and Columbus will have scattered rain and thunderstorms during the day. Rain chances in these areas could go as high as 60%, especially in the afternoon.
This could lead to water collecting on roads, so drivers should be careful.
Travel Advice for Drivers
If you’re travelling on highways like I-75 and I-16, be careful in the afternoon hours. Sudden rainstorms could reduce how far you can see while driving and make the roads slippery. This is especially important in south Georgia, where the ground is already wet from recent rain.
Some roads could flood, so it’s smart to avoid low-lying areas and keep an eye on weather updates.
Rain Coming Back Soon
This dry weather in the north won’t last long. The National Weather Service says that rain and thunderstorms will come back starting Thursday and continue through the weekend. So, people should enjoy the dry day while they can and prepare for more wet weather ahead.
Wednesday offers a short break from the usual rainy pattern for people living in northern Georgia. Cities like Atlanta will see sunny skies and warm temperatures, making it a great day to be outdoors. But this break won’t last.
People in southern Georgia still face high chances of rain and should stay alert for storms and flooding. Everyone should stay updated with weather alerts, especially with more rain expected from Thursday onward.
