Residents of Atlanta GA can look forward to a mixed bag of weather conditions over the next week, as the latest report from the National Weather Service indicates. According to the National Weather Service, today promises mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing up to a high near 87 degrees, while southerly winds could bring gusts reaching up to 25 mph.
The evening will see a shift with partly cloudy skies taking over and lows dropping to around 67. Predictably, the south wind will persist through the night at around 10 mph and might gust as high as 20 mph. Coming tomorrow, Atlantans should prepare for wetter conditions as there's an 80% chance of precipitation. "A chance of showers, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm," the National Weather Service foresees, with potential for heavy rainfall as storms move in.
Tomorrow night, the likelihood of precipitation jumps to 90%, with showers and possible thunderstorms tapering off by 2 a.m. Temperature dips to a low around 57, with persistent southerly winds accompanying the rainfall. The start of the new week doesn't offer much respite from the showers, which are likely to continue on Monday, mainly before 8 a.m., and a cooler high near 64 degrees is expected.
However, the skies should clear up by Monday night, leading into a week replete with sunnier days ahead. "Partly cloudy, with a low around 43," is the forecast for Monday evening. The steady progression into midweek brings more pleasant conditions. "Sunny, with a high near 61," that's the prediction for Tuesday from National Weather Service. Temperatures will gently rise as the week progresses, hitting the mid-70s by Thursday, although a 30 percent chance of showers lurks on Thursday night.
