You’ll want to stay inside this Mother’s Day. Widespread rain will extend across metro Atlanta this weekend, including the Sunday holiday, and into next week.
It’s also going to be cool with highs in the mid-60s both Saturday and Sunday, and even when it’s not raining it’s going to be cloudy and dreary. So, picnics and hikes with mom might not be the best bet, but brunch is always a good backup plan.
“Now, it’s not going to rain all the time, but more often than not, we’re going to see waves of rain coming through North Georgia,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.
The good news is severe weather is not expected, but thunderstorms are possible.
The rainy pattern will extend at least through the first half of next week.
“The start to the upcoming workweek looks like one of those dreary periods where coffee becomes a coveted commodity,” National Weather Service meteorologists said.
Between Sunday and Wednesday, up to 3 inches of rain are expected. Higher localized amounts between 4 and 5 inches are also possible, mainly in Middle Georgia.
“It wouldn’t be surprising to see a couple of rivers approach flood stage by Wednesday,” the NWS warned.
