There will be a lull in the wet weather weather later Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. It’ll still look gloomy, and a spotty rain shower cannot be ruled out, but most won’t have any rain to deal with during that time period.

Widespread rain, and a few thunderstorms, are expected to sweep into North Georgia later Saturday evening. The risk of rain and thunder lingers past sunrise Sunday morning.
