As the residents of Atlanta GA bask in today's warm sun, with temperatures expected to climb to a comfortable high near 78 degrees, there's an imminent shift on the horizon. "Light south wind becoming southwest 10 to 15 mph in the morning," as noted by the National Weather Service, suggesting folks enjoy the mild weather while it lasts. Evening plans might be dampened, however, as showers are anticipated mainly after 3 a.m., carrying a significant 80% chance of precipitation. Expect the breeze to maintain its momentum with gusts potentially reaching 25 mph.
The rain is unlikely to let up by Thursday morning, as showers are likely before 8 a.m., though the clouds might part occasionally in the afternoon. According to the forecast by National Weather Service, the temperature could fall to around 49 degrees by 5pm. The wind, not to be outdone by rains, could whip up gusts as high as 30 mph. This turbulent dance between elements marks a stark contrast to the serenity of today's skies.
Things are looking up by Friday, however, with sunshine taking the stage and a high near 64 degrees. The Northwest wind, calming to a 5 to 10 mph breeze, will still remind Atlantans of the blusteriness that preceded. The weekend continues in this sunny vein, with temperatures stretching towards the 70-degree mark and mostly clear nights.
However, Sunday night is gearing up for a more dramatic closing, as showers and thunderstorms enter the scene, followed by more likely showers after 2 a.m. The encore to this weather performance promises a 70% chance of precipitation, with a roller coaster of sun and showers to march through Monday. "Showers likely. Partly sunny, with a high near 68," the forecast reads—a prelude to what eventually settles into a clearer, calmer Tuesday, where sunny skies reign high near 69 degrees.
