Georgia Weather Forecast: 'Very Heavy Rainfall' Expected

ATLANTA, GA — If you were harboring any illusions that this week was going to bring an end to metro Atlanta's seemingly constant threat of thunderstorms ... well ... we hate to break it to you.

The rain and storms that have moved through the area so often recently will be back this week, with a chance of thunderstorms every day.

According to the National Weather Service, a weak cold front will be moving into the region and then stalling here. Primary hazards during the week will be "very heavy rainfall" as ample moisture and the stalled cold front interact over the region.

There will be roughly a 50-50 chance of storms on Monday and Tuesday. Chances will dip slightly through the middle of the week, then bounce back up as the weekend gets nearer.

Other threats include strong, gusty winds and frequent lightning.

High temperatures this week are expected to hover in the mid-80s, with lows each night dropping to the high-60s or lower 70s.
