Strong storms possible Monday afternoon
North Georgia residents should keep an eye on the weather Monday afternoon as a line of storms moves into the region from the northwest.
According to the FOX 5 Atlanta Storm Team, a cluster of storms currently near the Ohio River Valley will track toward Georgia later in the day. Most of metro Atlanta is under a Level 1 risk for severe weather, while portions of far northwest Georgia, including areas near Dade, Walker and Catoosa counties, have been upgraded to a Level 2 risk.
Not everyone will see rain, but storms that do develop could produce damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. There is also a limited risk of small hail, primarily across northwest Georgia.
Many of the storms are expected to weaken as they move into metro Atlanta, though a few severe thunderstorm warnings remain possible before the system exits the area.
Temperatures climb into the mid-80s
Morning cloud cover helped keep temperatures relatively mild early Monday, with readings in the upper 60s and low 70s across much of north Georgia.
As clouds break apart, temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-80s during the afternoon.
Dry, comfortable weather arrives midweek
After Monday’s storm chances, a much more comfortable weather pattern is expected to settle into Georgia.
Northeasterly winds are expected to bring drier air into the region beginning Tuesday and continuing through the second half of the week. Rain chances will decrease significantly, and humidity levels are expected to remain lower than normal for early June.
The pleasant conditions are expected to last through the weekend, with afternoon highs remaining in the mid-80s.
