Residents of Atlanta GA can expect a week of predominantly sunny skies and warm temperatures, according to the latest reports. Today, the forecast calls for sunny weather with the thermometer climbing to a comfortable 88 degrees, with a light north wind providing a gentle breeze at about 5 mph. As night approaches, the skies will remain mostly clear as temperatures dip to a pleasant 66 degrees, with the same north wind picking up to a slight 5 to 10 mph gust.
Looking forward to Wednesday, the National Weather Service predicts a continued stretch of mostly sunny conditions with a high near 84 degrees, accompanied by an easy east wind shifting between 5 to 10 mph. A partly cloudy Wednesday night will follow with lows again hovering around the mid-60s and the east wind calming to around 5 mph. The slight inconsistency comes as Thursday heralds a slim chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Although there is a 20 percent chance of rain after 2 pm on Thursday, the day will generally maintain its sunny disposition with highs anticipated near 85 degrees. The wind, however, may show a bit more character, gusting as high as 15 mph, adding a brisk undertone to the otherwise serene day. Thursday night's chances of precipitation wane by the evening, closing with a mostly clear sky and lows around 65.
As the weekend approaches, the forecast reinforces the theme of sun-soaked days with Friday set to shine bright at 87 degrees, followed by clear night skies and a low of 64. Saturday also promises uninterrupted sunshine and a high of 88, while the evening resumes the pattern with minimal cloud cover and lows around 66. Sunday turns up the heat with temperatures reaching towards a sweltering 91 degrees under clear skies, shifting into a warm Sunday night with lows near 68 degrees.
The balmy weather continues into the start of the next workweek. Atlanta residents can expect a sunny Monday with the mercury pushing to a near-record high for the year at 94 degrees. This extended period of fair weather, punctuated only by brief, potential showers on Thursday, offers an ideal backdrop for any outdoor plans, be it leisure or labor under the broad expanse of an almost invariably clear Georgian sky.
