Brace yourselves, Atlanta. The city is set to experience a medley of weather patterns ranging from frost to possible showers in the upcoming days, according to the National Weather Service's latest forecast. Atlantans will have to navigate through a low of 34 tonight with cloudy skies, before getting a slight temperature respite with highs teetering in the low 50s for Martin Luther King Day.
The extended forecast promises a diverse spread of atmospheric offerings. A chance of rain is expected Monday night into Tuesday morning, threatening to dampen the ground with a 30 percent chance of precipitation after 5 a.m, then tapering off before 8 a.m. Come night time, the sky will clear up but the mercury is going to nosedive to around 17.
Those who prefer the cold and clear might find solace in the middle of the week, with Wednesday heralding sunny skies and a high near 37, and the night skies remaining mostly clear as temperatures again dip to a low near 22. However, the peace won't last long as Thursday's evening forecast calls for a 50 percent chance of showers after 8 p.m., though the day itself should remain sunny with highs edging up to near 49.
As Friday ushers in, so does the chance for more rain with partly sunny skies and a high near 45. Keeping the umbrellas close should be a good call as rain may linger on a 50 percent chance. The weekend however, is set to snap back to clarity with Friday night skies mostly clear, and a chitinous chill gripping the city, pulling temperatures down to a low around 18.
Saturday will not offer much in the way of warmth, but sun lovers can rejoice as the forecast projects a sunny day with a high near a frigid 33. While the city prepares to face these fluctuating conditions, residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather alerts and plan accordingly for the potentially varied wardrobe requirements the week demands.
