Atlantans can look forward to a mix of sunny skies and impending showers this week, as the National Weather Service's extended forecast predicts fluctuating weather conditions. According to the NWS forecast, today's sunny disposition with a high near 72 is coupled with an expected calm shift in the winds from west to nearly none by evening.
Temperature lows tonight will dip to around 52, while Tuesday promises more sun and a high of 78, where the light west wind will get a slight nudge, increasing between 5 to 10 mph in the morning, nighttime on Tuesday brings a scant 20 percent chance of rain, with forecasts showing mostly cloudy skies and a resting low near 59, the wind stays calm. By Wednesday, the likelihood of showers amps up to 60 percent during the daytime, mostly occurring between the morning and early afternoon, under mostly cloudy conditions and a cooler high around 70.
The rest of the week maintains this temperamental dance of precipitation and partial sunshine—Thursday to Friday hovers around a consistent 50 to 60 percent likelihood of showers and potential thunderstorms, with highs lingering near the upper 70s and nights cooling to the low 60s. "A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8am, then a chance of showers between 8am and 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm," conveys the uncertain rhythm of Thursday's weather, as detailed by NWS.
As we edge into the weekend, showers remain a persistent possibility; Saturday's daytime high will be near 73, with a 50 percent chance of rain, while Sunday's mostly sunny weather masks a 40 percent chance of showers and slightly higher temperatures rounding near 74. Residents should expect a nearly identical pattern for the nights, only slightly cooler, the chance of showers perceivably declining by Sunday night, but the certainty of rain far from dispersed.
