A few days after shivering through January-like cold, Northeast Georgians now are looking at a Sunday of springlike rain.

Showers are expected to begin overnight Saturday, continue through the day Sunday and into the night, with a chance of a thunderstorm in some areas.

The National Weather Service says some storms in Central and South Georgia could be severe, bringing a chance of high winds and tornadoes, so travelers to those areas should be on the alert. But the weather system is expected to bring only steady rains to North Georgia, as much as 1 to 2 inches possible in some areas.

Sunday will be breezy with a high in the lower 50s, and temperatures dropping little overnight. Monday will be partly sunny with a high in the mid-60s as the rain begins to move out.

The wintery chill will return for Thanksgiving week, with clear skies, highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s through Friday.
