ATLANTA — Thursday's severe storms ended up helping stabilize the atmosphere across northern Georgia on Friday.
Scattered showers and storms will dissipate throughout the evening, according to Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns.
"As soon as the sun goes down tonight, we're really going to knock the energy out of the atmosphere, and that's really going to reduce the showers and storms," Burns said.
We're using advanced weather technology to pinpoint which areas will see the strongest storms, for the Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11 p.m.
By about midnight, all north Georgia will likely be free and clear of rain.
On Saturday, temperatures will top out around 85 in the metro and close to 90 in the southern parts of the viewing area.

Burns said there will be a chance for showers and storms to start up after lunchtime, beginning in the north Georgia mountains.
They will them become widespread across the metro in the early afternoon.
"Again, locally heavy rainfall will be your major threats," Burns said.
Rain chances will remain at 60% for Sunday and will dip a bit heading into the new workweek.
Temperatures will remain in the mid to high 80s throughout the weekend.
