Atlanta, brace for a mix of sunshine and potential showers, as warned by the National Weather Service. According to their latest forecast, the city is in for a partly sunny day with temperatures peaking at a pleasant 87 degrees. Citizens can anticipate a gentle southwest breeze sauntering in at around 5 mph.

As the evening rolls in and temperatures simmer down to a comfortable 69 degrees, the wind is anticipated to slow to a calm pace. Turning our attention toward the weekend, tomorrow is looking playful with a 30 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms after 1 pm, as reported by the National Weather Service.

The unpredictability continues through Friday night with another 30 percent chance of rain, yet the skies will mostly be cool and partly cloudy while the temperatures dip slightly to 68 degrees. Folks planning outdoor activities for Saturday should keep an umbrella handy; despite the mostly sunny forecast and an anticipated high of 89 degrees, there's a steady 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.

The weather roulette doesn't stop there; Sunday serves up a mixed bag with a sunny outlook, but it also ratchets up the chance for showers and thunderstorms to 40 percent after 8 am, suggesting that folks might want to plan their picnics before the clock strikes eight. For anyone commemorating Memorial Day outdoors, be wary of likely afternoon showers and thunderstorms with a high likelihood of precipitation at 60 percent, according to the National Weather Service.

The week kickstarts with similar patterns; Monday night skygazers can expect potential showers and thunderstorms before 8 pm, but thereafter the skies will clear up for what seems like a briefly partly cloudy respite and the low will settle around 64 degrees. And if you’re pining for some uninterrupted sunshine, Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bet with a meager 20 percent chance of rain and sunny skies cruising to highs near 83 degrees.
