Wednesday and Thursday look to be dry and warm across Georgia, with
highs in the mid to upper 70s across all but the mountains of north
Georgia, which should stay in the 60s. Some areas south of the
Atlanta metro across central Georgia may approach 80 under strong
upper-level ridging. A shortwave passing to the north Friday into
Friday night will bring a 20% chance of rain to north Georgia, with
best chances currently across Fannin, Union, and Towns counties.

Sunday will bring higher rain chances to much of north and central
Georgia as a cold front works into the region, dropping highs around
and north of the Atlanta metro back into the 60s.
