Cold temperatures expected after rain leaves metro Atlanta

ATLANTA After weeks of dry weather, rain finally made a comeback to North Georgia on Sunday, and with it comes cold temperatures to start the work week.

Sunday rain turns to cold temperatures

What we know:“It’s going to be a one-two punch,” said FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alex Forbes. “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen any rain, and even longer since we’ve seen the kind of temperatures we’ve got on the way for tomorrow morning.”

Showers began moving into northwest Georgia early Sunday morning, spreading quickly toward the metro area. “Between now and the noon hour, that’s when the majority of our rain is going to come,” Forbes explained. “We’re looking at about a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rainfall before it clears out this afternoon.”

The front is expected to sweep through quickly, with clearing skies later in the day and highs reaching the low 70s. “It’s a fast mover — that’s why our rainfall totals aren’t as high as they could be,” Forbes said.
