With a 50 percent chance of showers interrupting what will start as a mostly cloudy Wednesday – following some early patchy frost – high temperatures are expected to hover near 47 degrees. Shifting winds ranging from calm to a light breeze from the west at 5 mph are forecasted to make an appearance in Wednesday afternoon.

Come Thursday, Atlantans can look forward to returning sunshine and a modest warm up, pushing the thermometer to a comfortable 51 degrees. Gusts of wind coming from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph will offer a refreshing respite, at times reaching up to 20 mph. The clear skies will continue through Thursday night as temperatures fall once again to the brink of freezing—a low around 30 is anticipated.
Heading into the weekend, the situation gets decidedly damp. Friday will provide a day of calming sun and highs lingering near 51, but rain is on the docket for Friday night.
