North Georgia is starting the day with cloudy skies and spotty showers, but a stretch of dry and cooler weather is on the way.
Light rain moved through parts of the southwest metro overnight, leaving some damp roads in Cobb and Douglas counties early Wednesday. Forecasters say the showers are expected to taper off within hours and will not affect travel.
Temperatures in Atlanta began the morning in the low 70s, similar to Tuesday, but with lower humidity levels. Blairsville was already at 59 degrees, and many other locations are expected to see 50s by Thursday morning.
By the afternoon, skies should clear with mostly sunny conditions and highs near or slightly above average. The cooler trend will be more noticeable later in the week, with morning lows dipping into the 50s in metro Atlanta and even the 40s in the North Georgia mountains. Highs are expected to stay near 80 degrees.
