As Atlanta heads into a new week, residents can expect a mix of sunshine and potential showers, according to the latest weather updates. The National Weather Service forecasts a mostly sunny day today with temperatures peaking near 70 degrees and east winds traveling at 5 to 10 mph, potentially gusting up to 15 mph. However, the skies are set to cloud over tonight as temperatures drop to around 52 degrees.
Tonight's mostly cloudy skies will give way to a 20 percent chance of showers come Sunday afternoon. The day's high is expected to hover near 66, accompanied by persistent east winds of about 10 mph and gusts that could reach 20 mph. As the week progresses, conditions are anticipated to remain unsettled. Sunday night will likely bring showers after 8 pm, with rainfall possibly heavy at times and a 70 percent chance of precipitation.
Into Monday, residents should continue to have their umbrellas at the ready as showers are likely, particularly before 2 pm. The cloud cover will persist, with daytime highs around a cooler 56 degrees. For those hoping for clearer skies, there might be some respite later in the week. According to the extended weather forecast, Friday is forecasted to be mostly sunny with a high near 61.
Mid-week weather, however, seems hesitant to break the pattern, with increased chances of showers and mostly cloudy conditions sticking around. The likelihood of rain fluctuates between 20 and 50 percent from Tuesday through Thursday, with temperatures remaining steady in the mid to upper 50s. Nights during this period will also stay consistently cloudy, with lows dropping to the mid to low 40s. Despite a less than ideal weather outlook, the city can look forward to some sunshine to round out the week.
