Residents across Georgia should prepare for on-and-off rain showers throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service. While no severe weather is expected, there may be occasional rumbles of thunder during the afternoon and evening hours.
Just the Facts:
• Rain showers are expected to persist intermittently throughout Tuesday.
• Thunderstorms may develop later in the day, though they are not predicted to be severe.
• Rain is forecast to clear out by early Wednesday morning.
By the Numbers:
• High temperatures will vary across the state due to rain and cloud cover:

How You Can Prepare:
