If you’re making plans to attend the EAST COBBER parade and festival Saturday, you may want to include some rain gear just in case.
The thunderstorms that came through the East Cobb area Friday night are the front edge of what could be a rainy weekend.
The parade steps off from Mt. Bethel Elementary School at 10 a.m., then heads down Johnson Ferry Road to the south parking lot of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, where the event’s festival runs from 11-3 (Details of traffic closures and the parade route.).
According to the National Weather Service in Atlanta, there will be a 40 percent chance of rain Saturday, mostly after 2 p.m. The forecast calls for partly sunny skies, with a high temperature in the East Cobb area of 87.
By the start of the parade, the temperatures are expected to be in the mid 70s.
A 30 percent chance of rain is expected Saturday night and a 20 percent is possible Sunday, also after 2 p.m. Highs Sunday are forecast to be in the high 80s.
