Grab your rain gear folks
before you leave the house.
Going to need that you're alreay
hearing the rain coming down
or seeing the rain coming down.
If you up here to the north North Georgia
mountains over toward the Rome area as well.
It's been off and on heavy at ts
for you once you get your way dn
toward the Atlanta metro area.
Haven't seen much at all not ye.
Now a shower could break out a little
isolated shower but for the most
part we won't see that heavy ran
until we get toward the afterno.
Right now it's up to the north from car
decay down through Tate almost .
Can almost in the can over toward Calhoun,
down toward Rome is where you're
seeing that very heavy rain.
No lightning strikes associated with it.
Some of these more heavier pocks
starting to subside just a little bit.
We have the moderate rain all around it,
so now that's indicated by that.
Yellow clouds where we don't have the rain
will stick around least through about noon.
It's after one or two o'clock that we'll
start to see the rain begin to pick up,
especially from Atlanta southward 61 by noon
on our way to 68 for an afternoon high.
Braves play at noon right aroun.
20 really is the first pitch and so you
notice we'll have the clouds in place,
but then we're looking for
those showers to be around,
especially toward the end of the game.
So again,
keep that jacket and the umbrella handy.
You're going to need that.
Notice the severe weather down
here to the South,
already already seeing that seve
thunderstorm warnings you got watches
that are in a place right now.
That's where it's going to stay,
mainly along the coastline.
Here is where we're going to have the
greatest threat for severe weather for today.
That boundary that you see down here to the
South will lift to the north as a warm front.
As we head through the day,
expect our temperatures to to warm up.
Tomorrow, thanks to that warm
front that will come through,
but you can see the yellow area
here or that level 2 threat.
For severe weather, it's a slight risk.
You notice a dark green shade.
That's to our West and down to the South.
That's where we could see an isolated,
strong, severe thunderstorm pop.
It's possible.
So be advised,
be weather aware we'll keep you updated here.
A little lower threat of rain as
we head into Friday models tryig
to pull back on that a little b.
We'll get the sunshine back in here on
Saturday and then by Sunday so we can
then rain to go back up again ae
next front will move through our area.
Here it is our forecast track
model you follow along with.
The time right there at the top of the screen
shows the rain up to the north
early on once we get past 1:00.
O'clock this more expecting a ff
these scatter showers that pop ,
a couple of embedded thunderstos
will be around as well as we
head toward early evening.
We'll see that begin to clear out and
then I think the threat for then
will stick around at least thro.
Friday morning that our models trying to
take the rain all out of the forecast,
but we'll see some drying taking place
once we get toward the afternoo.
We'll get that sunshine in here for Sunday.
I think the latter half of day
Friday going into Saturday.
Rather you're looking at temperatures
warming up as well near 80 degrees for the
highest original on Saturday by Sunday.
Comes through,
brings us more rain,
71 degrees with the high temperature,
then we'll clear it out.
