As Atlanta residents bask in the partly sunny skies with temperatures peaking near 69 degrees today, they are advised to expect a shift in conditions as the day progresses. The National Weather Service has forecasted a surge in winds up to 25 mph coming from the southwest. Yet, tranquility is set to be disrupted, as the evening promises a 90% chance of showers coupled with thunderstorms after 1 a.m., and South winds are expected to escalate to 15 mph, gusting to as much as 30 mph.
Those looking forward to Friday will likely start the day to an orchestration of nature’s vocals – thunderstorms are likely to occur before 11 a.m., followed by a brief interlude of potential showers until 1 p.m. However, the skies are forecasted to clear up, gifting Atlanta a mostly sunny day with the mercury hitting a sumptuous 65 degrees. It is a day to hold on to your hats, as a Northwest wind will be eager to split apart any unsecured items, gusting as high as 30 mph.
A resplendent weekend awaits, according to predictions by the National Weather Service. A steady Northwesterly wind will help maintain clarity in the heavens, offering residents clear skies on Friday night with lows around 42 degrees. Saturday will not disappoint either, shining sunny and bright with a high nearing 58 degrees and winds picking up the pace in the afternoon to potentially 30 mph.
Temperatures will dip to a brisk 31 degrees on Saturday night, but the cold will be seemingly fleeting as Sunday heats up to 63 degrees under sunny skies. The latter part of the weekend will see a partial cloaking of stars with partly cloudy conditions and lows around 45. Subsequently, Atlanta will bask in warmth once more, with Monday and Tuesday temperatures striving to reach the 70s. The week's tranquility will find itself challenged once Wednesday arrives, bearing a 20 percent chance of showers under mostly cloudy skies and with highs inching nearer to a mild 74 degrees.
