Rain Thursday night, Friday morning; Wintry mix possible in NE Georgia

ATLANTA — After a chilly start in the 20s Wednesday morning, much of metro Atlanta climbed into the 50s by the afternoon.

"That's right on target for this time of year," Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Katie Walls said.

Rain is expected to move in Thursday night into Friday morning. A brief transition to a rain-snow mix is possible in the northeast Georgia mountains and western North Carolina.

“A few lingering rain showers are possible in the metro Friday morning, and clearing thereafter,” Walls said. “We’ll stay dry through Saturday.”

Severe Weather Team 2 is tracking another chance for wintry mix in far north Georgia Saturday night and Sunday morning before changing to all rain.

“Sunday still looks like a wet day across our area,” Walls said.
