Following a warm weekend in the 70s, Georgia is set for rain, cooler temps and maybe even a blast of cold air from the north.

A rainy Monday and Tuesday accompany cooler weather and a cold front, as it moves from out west to the east by midweek, according to The Weather Channel. It's not yet clear how far south the cold air would reach as the jet stream dips.

Forecasters are predicting for Cumming, a 90 percent chance of rain on Monday, with a high expected to reach into the low 60's, and an 80 percent chance on Tuesd ay with a high of 55, according to the National Weather Service. Showers are expected to taper off Wednesday and Thursday, as low temperatures dip to 38 and 35, respectively. Highs are forecast for the mid 50s.

Current above-average temperatures give way to possible additional waves of arctic air that could reach into Georgia later this month or next, as the potential for the coldest weather in years sets up our friends to the north, according to AccuWeather.

Next week, Cumming's low temps could dip below freezing, according to The Weather Channel's monthly forecast.
