Atlanta, get ready for a stretch of pleasant days ahead with an extended forecast that promises plenty of sun and escalating temperatures inching towards the high 80s by the weekend. According to the National Weather Service's latest update, today will be sunny with a temperate high around 70 degrees, complemented by a northwest wind of 5 to 10 mph; gusts might reach 20 mph, ensuring a brisk feel despite the warmth. As night falls, expect a mostly clear sky and a comfortably cool low around 48 degrees, with winds settling down to a whisper by evening.
Looking towards the latter half of the week, the trend of sunny skies continues, with Thursday set to hit a high of 77 degrees—the wind, now from the southeast, remaining a gentle 5 mph breeze. The evening, too, brings minimal change, forecasted to stay mostly clear with a low about 54; that southeast wind steadfastly holding at night, the city’s urban hustle makes it easy to forget the shifting patterns of nature occurring just above. Friday cements the warming pattern, set to blaze forward to a high near 84 degrees, and although the south wind will carry on at a 5 to 10 mph clip, gusts might peak at 20 mph again.
The weekend's weather takes a minor turn, with Saturday becoming partly sunny, and a forecasted high reaching an almost sweltering 87 degrees, while nightfall introduces a shift to mostly cloudy skies and a low around 64. Sunday will echo this pattern, remaining mostly cloudy with a warmth persisting at a high near 85 and a nighttime refusal to cool down significantly, maintaining a low near 65 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service in their extended forecast.
The forecast takes a slightly unsettled turn at the start of the new week, with Monday presenting a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms amid the partial sunshine, the high persisted at a warm 84 degrees; night holds a continued 30 percent chance of these weather patterns, though the mostly cloudy sky’s should see the lows dip to around 60. Tuesday sees a decreed chance of showers— a 30 percent likelihood—yet the sun will likely reclaim the skies, shining down on a cooler but still gentle high of 81 degrees, offering a small respite from the earlier warmth that marks each step into late spring as an embrace of all that is cyclical and expected in a Southern April.
