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:
• Upper 50s in the northeast Georgia mountains.

Why It Matters: Rainfall can lead to slippery roads and reduced visibility for drivers. The cooler temperatures and damp conditions might also impact outdoor plans. It’s a good day for indoor activities and extra caution while traveling.
How You Can Prepare:
