Lake Lanier forecast update

SATURDAY’S WEATHER
A cold front will be passing over the Lake Lanier/Gainesville area at just before or right at the morning take-off, meaning that showers will be likely to start the day but those shower chances will be diminishing through the morning. All rain should be gone prior to noon and skies will become partly to mostly cloudy. Temperatures at take-off will be in the lower 50s and will climb into the mid-60s by the afternoon hours.
