Rain makes a fleeting appearance in the forecast this week, though calling it “rain” might be generous.

🌧️ What We Know: Georgia will flirt with precipitation Thursday when a cold front creeps through the state. The National Weather Service predicts most areas will collect less than a quarter-inch of rainfall — just enough to mess up your windshield but not enough to cancel a picnic.

“We are confident that any rainfall will be light,” weather officials said, in a social media post.

Afternoon and evening hours face the highest chance of sprinkles, giving morning commuters a pass but potentially dampening your drive home.

📊 By The Numbers: Macon leads the drizzle derby with a 79% chance of measurable rain. Columbus follows at 71%, while Rome sits at 65% and Atlanta at 63%. Athens residents have a 60% chance of needing windshield wipers.

The odds of getting more than a tenth of an inch? Now we’re talking longshots. Macon’s 54% chance looks promising compared to Athens’ measly 26%.
