Atlantans can expect a sunny start to the week with the mercury rising to a comfortable 84 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. A light southwest breeze will make for ideal conditions to perhaps enjoy lunch outside or to finally get to that yard work. For those heading outdoors, tonight's forecast promises partly cloudy skies with a mild low of 59 degrees, keeping the evening pleasant for any late-night activities.
As work resumes on Tuesday, the city will witness mostly cloudy skies with temperatures climbing nearly back up to the previous day's highs, topping around 82. You will want to perhaps take advantage to dress in layers as a gentle south wind may unpredictably gust up to 15 mph. Tuesday night's conditions are set to mirror the day's, with cloudy skies and a comfortable low of around 63 degrees.
The mild trend continues into midweek, but with a slightly higher chance of precipitation. There's a 20 percent chance of showers come Wednesday afternoon after 2pm, according to forecast data. Despite the potential for raindrops, temperatures will remain high, with an expected 80 degrees by day. Any potential showers are forecasted to dissipate before nightfall, giving way to mostly cloudy night skies and a low of 64 degrees.
Looking to Thursday, the clouds are set to part significantly, offering Atlantans a day filled with sun and a high reaching 86 degrees. Evening plans are also likely to remain unaffected by weather disruptions, with a low chance of rain and a partly cloudy night ahead. The week rounds out on Friday with the sun still in abundance, the high reaching an enviable 85 degrees; however, a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms might emerge after 2pm, so carrying an umbrella wouldn't be too much of a precaution.
For those planning weekend escapades, it might be prudent to keep an eye on the skies. Saturday's outlook hints at a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, and while the sun will make appearances, it's a day that could quite easily turn wet. The evening also maintains a threat for rain, potentially setting the stage for a damp night out. Sunday's forecast only intensifies these predictions, with a 40 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms putting a literal dampening on outdoor activities.
