Atlanta residents can look forward to a bright start to the week with sunny skies and moderate temperatures, according to the latest weather updates. Today's forecast expects a high near 59 degrees, and although it might feel a bit brisk with a west wind around 10 mph and gusts reaching up to 15 mph, it's clear skies for those heading outdoors.

Tonight, the crisp conditions continue as the mercury drops to around 39 degrees, but you won't need to worry about any rain spoiling evening plans, and the west wind persists at a calm 10 mph. With gusts potentially hitting 15 mph again, Wednesday's outlook shows a warming trend with a high near 71 and more sun dominating the Atlanta skyline, making for an ideal midweek reprieve from any remaining winter chill.

Weather forecasts from The National Weather Service indicate that the latter half of the week might require residents to keep an umbrella at hand, starting Thursday night with a 30 percent chance of showers creeping in after 2am. While Thursday itself should remain partly sunny with a comfortable high again near 71 degrees, prepare for a potential shift as we head into Friday.

The likelihood of showers increases significantly on Friday with a 70 percent chance, signaling a mostly cloudy day and a high near 58 degrees keeping things on the cooler side, a stark contrast to the week's warmer start. As the weekend approaches, there's a slight chance of lingering showers early Saturday, however, conditions are expected to clear leading into a mostly sunny day with a high reaching 65 degrees, setting the stage for what appears a pleasant weekend overall.

Atlanta's evenings will continue to be on the cooler side with lows hovering in the 40s, and while the beginning of the next week may see increasing cloud cover, temperatures are set to remain consistent with Sunday's sunny high near 67 and Monday's forecast calling for mostly cloudy conditions but still a high near 66, suggesting a temperate equilibrium will hold sway against the springtime volatility of the South.
