Atlanta residents can expect to see a smattering of clouds today before the skies clear up for what looks to be a week of predominantly sunny weather. Temperatures are projected to reach a comfortable high near 60 today, with light winds shifting from calm to a modest south breeze at about 5 mph. This mild pattern is set to continue into the evening, where clear skies will accompany a dip in temperature down to around 37 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday is forecasted to remain sunny with daily highs inching slightly higher to around 63, while an easterly wind will start to gently make its presence known before shifting south in the afternoon. These serene conditions are expected to persist through the week, with Thursday's temperatures aiming to pleasantly climb higher still, peaking near 67. Winds, however, are forecasted to show more gusto, rolling in from the southwest at 5 to 15 mph and potentially bringing gusts up to 20 mph.
The weather takes a turn Thursday night, as showers are likely to roll into the area before 1 am, bringing with them the possibility of a thunderstorm between 1 am and 4 am before transitioning back to showers afterward. With a 90 percent chance of precipitation and a milder low of 54 forecasted, residents should prepare to stay dry and safe during this brief bout of unsettled weather.
Those planning any outdoor activities for Friday should be relieved to know that the chance of showers drops dramatically to just 20 percent before the early afternoon. Following this, the sun is on schedule to assert itself once more, bringing the high back near 64. The weekend promises to deliver clear skies and continuous sun, with daytime highs comfortably situated in the low 60s and nighttime lows hovering around the mid to upper 30s, making it an ideal time to partake in outdoor ventures before the workweek commences.
