Atlantans can expect a mixed bag of weather conditions in the coming week, with chances of showers and thunderstorms almost every day, according to the latest extended weather forecast. Today's forecast features a 50 percent chance of rainfall in the afternoon, despite the mostly sunny skies, as stated by the National Weather Service. Residents should be aware of potential new rainfall amounts ranging from a tenth to a quarter of an inch, though this could rise with thunderstorm activity.
As nighttime approaches, there will still be a lingering 30 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 8 pm. People venturing out early in the morning should be cautious, as patchy fog is expected to develop after 5 am. The shift to calmer weather comes with winds slowing down to a gentle breeze in the evening.
The pattern of sunny weather speckled with possible showers continues throughout the weekend. Saturday's forecast presents a 40 percent chance of precipitation, primarily taking shape after 11am. These conditions seem to persistently hold as we move into the following week, with a recurring possibility of afternoon thunderstorms. Despite these interruptions, daytime temperatures are anticipated to hover in the low to mid-90s, accompanied by light westerly winds, according to the NWS.
For those planning outdoor activities in the evenings, the likelihood of weather disruptions decreases, with only a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before nightfall. Stargazers can look forward to mostly clear skies as they are only periodically interrupted by the slim chance of nocturnal thunderstorms. By midweek, residents can prepare to experience a rise to a 40 percent chance of showers during the day.
