Atlanta's forecast for the coming week appears to be a calm collection of sunny days and partly cloudy nights, with moderate temperatures that seem to herald an idyllic autumn setting in. According to the National Weather Service, today will be bathed in sunshine with the thermometer climbing to a comfortable high of 83 degrees. A light breath of the north wind, turning calm by afternoon, will be the only movement in an otherwise still day.
As night falls, the sky is expected to remain mostly clear, giving way to a low of 64 degrees. Unfortunately, Atlanta residents looking up at the stars might catch a mild wind chill, with the north wind hanging around at about 5 mph before it decides to calm down. Come Thursday, a high of 82 is forecasted, with the morning calmness disrupted by a gentle southeast wind picking up to a subtle 5 mph.
The forecast for Thursday night doesn't stray far from the set pattern – stars will likely peek through partly cloudy skies as temperatures dip slightly to 66 degrees. The east wind will persist, maintaining a mild but consistent presence. As we venture into Friday, the city of Atlanta should brace for more cloud cover, though we aren't talking about any brooding, impending storm – merely a mostly cloudy veil with a high near 79, and the same gentle east wind.
Heading into the weekend, while the nights are set to remain mostly cloudy, with a steadfast low around 65 degrees, the days promise to be partly sunny and utterly agreeable, especially for any outdoor activities planned. The National Weather Service forecasts a high of around 83 degrees for Saturday, dipping slightly as we enter Sunday with an expected sunny disposition and a high near 80. With the wind keeping its calm, the city will enjoy a serene atmosphere settling in.
Atlanta's streak of fair weather looks to stretch into the early week, as Monday ushers in another sunny day with a high of 81 degrees. The night will likely mirror those before it – mostly clear, and slightly cooler at a low of around 58 degrees. And by Tuesday, the warmth takes a modest bow, with the forecast pointing to sunny skies but a high only reaching near 76. It seems the balmy days of high summer have finally conceded to the mellow touch of fall––a season many look forward to with a gentle fondness.
