Thursday brings thunderstorms to Batumi and Kutaisi and rain showers to Tbilisi and Telavi, while the mountains see snow showers in Gudauri and Mestia and snow grains in Stepantsminda, with highs only 2–7C up there. The Pshaveli–Abano–Omalo road remains banned (km22–72), so plan around it, and the US dollar trades near 2.60 GEL today.
