Temperatures are expected to increase fast.
While rain is not in Wednesday’s forecast, a system could bring isolated severe storms to metro Atlanta Thursday night into Friday.
There is a 70 percent chance of showers and storms Thursday and a 40 percent chance of morning showers Friday.
Rain is expected to develop in metro Atlanta about 8 p.m. Thursday and turn severe about midnight, Minton said.
Damaging winds, lightning and heavy rain are possible, and some spots could pick up about an inch of rain.
