Discussion:
Rain is making its way back into the forecast by the end of the weekend as a cold front sweeps in from the north. For Sunday, the bulk of the rain holds off until the evening with highs reaching the 50s.
Isolated showers will be possible throughout the day on Sunday, but rain will focus mainly on far North GA in the morning. Coverage through the early afternoon will also be hit-and-miss.
By 4 or 5 PM, showers start to pick up, but rain is still mainly light. Rain timing should work out really well for any outdoor plans on Sunday.
Showers are widespread by 9 PM, and pockets of moderate to heavy rainfall also become more likely.
Rain stays widespread and at times heavy into the overnight.
Most rain takes place between 8 PM and 4 AM. As we get closer to sunrise, rain starts to clear out. A few showers may linger through the morning commute on Monday.
Rain totals will range from 1/4" to 3/4" for most by the time the rain clears out on Monday.
We'll catch a break Monday afternoon from the rain, but the pattern this week looks overall unsettled with more showers possible the rest of the week. As a whole, north Georgia could pick up 2 to 3 inches on average in the next week, with some higher amounts possible.
Showers remain isolated Tuesday and Wednesday then rain chances go up Thursday ahead of another front.
Temperatures remain near or even above average. Lows Sunday morning will be near 40 then highs will warm to the mid 50s. That's where temperatures will sit for most of the week.
