Atlanta residents can look forward to a gradual return of the sun following a predominantly cloudy morning, with today's high reaching 66 degrees. The National Weather Service reports that the clearing skies are accompanied by a north wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph and gusts potentially hitting 25 mph. As the daylight fades, the forecast promises clear conditions and a dip in temperature to a comfortable 42 degrees. The wind isn't expected to let up, gusting as high as 20 mph from the northwest tonight.

Those planning for the end of the workweek can anticipate a sunny Friday, with the mercury set to climb to 72 degrees. The breeze will continue to gently remind us of its presence with a west wind around 5 mph. However, the night will not stay entirely unblemished; partly cloudy skies are predicted, and the thermometer is predicted to drop to 48 degrees, while the southwest wind persists at a mild pace.

The outlook for the weekend should put some spring into your step. Saturday's forecast is a sunny day with highs surging to 77 degrees. A southwest wind will blow at 5 to 15 mph, occasionally gusting to around 20 mph. Saturday night's forecast is chiefly unclouded, with the low resting at 53 degrees.

Continuing the favorable streak, Sunday brings more sun and an impressive spike in warmth, expecting a high near 80 degrees. By nightfall, clouds will begin to gather as temperatures settle around 59 degrees. Monday maintains the warmer trend with mostly cloudy skies and highs inching upwards to 81. Come nighttime, the clouds linger with lows around 63 degrees. Shifting into Tuesday, residents should brace themselves for potential showers and thunderstorms, with odds set at 50 percent amidst mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures hovering near 80. The same goes for Tuesday night, with showers, thunderstorms, and a low circling 56 degrees. A slightly decreased chance of 40 percent for showers and thunderstorms will present itself Wednesday, along with a mix of mostly sunny skies and a high near 71, according to a forecast provided by the National Weather Service.
