Georgia Weather Forecast: A Rainy Spring Week

ATLANTA, GA — Well, it's officially spring. And, in Georgia, we all know what that means, weather-wise. While it won't be raining all the time, there are some showers in the forecast every single day between now and the weekend.

From Monday through Wednesday, we're only looking at a 20 percent chance of rain each day, with nothing more than a drizzle expected some days. But that chance jumps up to 50 percent on Thursday and rockets all the way up to an 80 percent chance of rain Thursday night.

Friday, there will once again be a 50 percent chance of rain in metro Atlanta, dropping back down to 20 percent on Friday night.

As far as temperatures go, it's really going to start feeling like spring by the end of the week. For the next couple of days, we're still looking at highs in the 50s. But, on Thursday, the high is forecast to get all the way up to 75 degrees.

We're looking at a high of 75 again on Thursday and it should get up to 70 on Friday, before dropping back down to around 45 on Friday night.
