As Atlanta braces for a warm start to July, the extended weather forecast anticipates mostly sunny skies with temperatures flirting with the 90s. The prediction for today expects a high near 90 after some patchy morning fog has cleared. The gentle northwest wind at around 5 mph seems to offer little respite from the heat. Tonight, Atlantans can enjoy a mostly clear sky with a comfortable low around 70, according to the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the sun will remain a steadfast companion, bringing the mercury up to around 91 degrees. The clear skies at night will lower temperatures to a mellow 73. However, with a wind from the north at 5 mph, it might help some find relief from the daytime warmth. The pattern continues into the Independence Day weekend, with the forecast calling for sunny conditions and highs pressing into the low 90s.
Friday night will remain clear with a low around 72, making for ideal conditions for any festive fireworks. For those planning outdoor activities on Saturday, the city is slated to experience more sunshine with a high again near 92, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday's night sky will mirror previous evenings, mostly clear with the temperatures dipping to a low of around 71.
The slightly more variable weather arrives Sunday, with conditions remaining mostly sunny and reaching a high around 91. Although Sunday night introduces some clouds, complicating the contemplation of the stars under a partly cloudy sky, with a low hovering around 71. Monday forecasts suggest a 30 percent chance of much-needed showers and thunderstorms, providing variety to the constant sunshine and a high still near 91.
As the week commences, the possibility of showers continues into Tuesday, maintaining a 30 percent probability. This does little to disrupt the stronghold of sunshine, which promises to keep temperatures at a high around 93. Atlantans should keep an eye out for evening storms, as Monday night also carries potential for precipitation with a partly cloudy setting and a low about 72.
