Days of rain and cold temperatures expected this week

ATLANTA — Have your umbrella handy Monday.

Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist Katie Walls says you can expect round after round of rainfall. The first round on Monday is expected to produce roughly 1-2 inches of rain across most of north Georgia.

The rounds will continue and by Thursday afternoon, we're looking at a widespread 2-4 inches of rainfall. On the plus side, Walls said she is not worried about severe weather but there will be impacts on the commute and cold temperatures.

Severe Weather Team 2 is using the world's most powerful radar to track the system and is timing the earliest you can expect rain in your neighborhood on Channel 2 Action News This Morning starting at 4:30 a.m. 

A freeze warning was in effect for over 40 counties in north Georgia counties Saturday night, including most of the metro Atlanta area. The warning expired at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.

With rain and clouds, you can expect unseasonably cool temperatures to stick with us through the work week, Walls said. Georgia will be back down into the 40s and low 50s for Wednesday and Thursday.
