Residents of Atlanta GA can expect a sunny Wednesday with temperatures peaking around 40 degrees. The report predicts northwest winds moving at 10 to 15 mph, and gusts reaching as high as 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service. As the evening approaches, the skies will remain mostly clear, and temperatures are likely to drop to a low near 21 degrees, with persistent northwest winds.
The pleasant conditions are set to continue into tomorrow, with another sunny day and a high near 42, though with slightly gentler northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph. While tomorrow night will be partly cloudy and colder with lows around 28 degrees, this stability in the weather is not expected to last. The weather service foresees a significant turn on Friday, where snow is likely before 1 p.m. transitioning into a wintry mix afterwards, with near certain chances of precipitation.
With a high of 34 degrees forecasted for Friday, the transition to freezing rain in the afternoon presents risks for commuters and the city's infrastructure. As the night falls, the temperatures will hover around 30 degrees, with rain and snow possibly mixed with freezing rain before tapering off into a sporadic pattern through the night. "Chance of precipitation is 90%," the National Weather Service warns.
Saturday brings respite, partly sunny with a nicer high of 37 degrees. Residents will then see a clear Saturday night with lows plummeting around 20 degrees. The week concludes on a brighter note, with sunny conditions on Sunday and a high near 41, followed by a partly cloudy night and a low around 26 degrees.
