Atlanta is gearing up for a wet week as thunderstorms drench the city today with forecasts showing no signs of clearing until tonight. According to predictions from the National Weather Service, Atlantans will face a 90% chance of showers, with thunderstorms most likely occurring after 1 p.m. The expected high is a cool 65 degrees with southeast winds of 10 to 20 mph, potentially gusting up to 30 mph.

Tonight, while the showers are anticipated to let up mainly before 9pm, residents should still expect mostly cloudy skies and a northeast wind around 5 mph which is set to turn north post-midnight. The chance of precipitation drops to 60%, with new rainfall amounts ranging between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.

The National Weather Service reports an improvement in conditions with skies clearing up by Wednesday. The forecast promises mostly sunny weather with a high near 73, and a northwest breeze blowing at 5 to 10 mph. However, there's a 20 percent chance of showers come Wednesday night, dimming the short-lived optimism with mostly cloudy conditions and lows bottoming out around 49 degrees.

Looking toward the end of the week, Atlanta can expect a return to mostly sunny skies by Thursday with a high near 66. Northwest winds will continue at around 15 mph and there could be gusts as high as 25 mph. The evening will clear up with a low around 42 degrees, setting the stage for a sunny Friday, with daytime highs expected to soar near 71.

The weekend looks to follow this upward trend with sunny days in the forecast. Saturday is set to shine with a high of 77, while Sunday might just outdo it reaching a high close to 80. Overnight temperatures will stay moderate, hovering in the low 50s to high 50s. The good weather seems to hold up through Monday with a partly sunny sky and highs in the lower 80s. Atlanta's citizens can look forward to a much-needed respite from the rain as the week progresses.
