ATLANTA — More wet weather? Yes. Our Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologists have been tracking rain since Wednesday, and you can expect to see more showers into the weekend.
The heaviest of the rain has moved through the metro area, but showers are going to stick around through Saturday morning.
As the rain moves out, temperatures will cool and the wind will pick up a bit throughout Saturday afternoon. Temps could get low enough Saturday night that there is the possibility of flurries in parts of the North Georgia mountains.
