The caprice of Southern weather holds true this week in Atlanta, as residents can expect to navigate a mix of fog, sunshine, and rain, according to the latest forecasts. Today’s weather sees patchy fog lifting before 11 a.m., then giving way to partly sunny skies and a mild high of 62 degrees. Those light breezes whispering through the city streets will subtly shift from calm to a southerly flow at around 5 mph as the afternoon unfolds.
This evening, the skies will gather more clouds as temperatures dip to a low around 47. Any drafts wandering listlessly will settle into a calm as the night progresses. By tomorrow, Atlantans should be mindful to carry an umbrella with a 20 percent chance of showers entering the prediction after 1 p.m., despite highs pushing a comfortable 65 degrees. The next night, rain chances inch up to 30 percent, with a more pronounced westerly wind at about 5 mph, accompanying lows huddled around 53, as reported by the National Weather Service.
A temporary respite from rain seems to emerge on Wednesday, as the forecast promises a partly sunny day high cresting at near 71 degrees. Such calm conditions are to fleetingly visit before Wednesday night reasserts a familiar pattern with overcast skies and steady lows.
The latter part of the week maintains this unsettled theme. Thursday stays mostly cloudy with highs holding steady at about 71, but nightfall comes accompanied by a 30 percent shower probability as thermometers will likely read around 59 degrees. Friday brings a toss-up with a 50 percent chance of showers against the backdrop of continuous cloud cover and highs once again reaching for the 71-degree mark. The odds tip in favor of rainfall come Friday night, shooting up to 70 percent, with a low stabilizing near 53.
Atlantans heading into the weekend should keep rain gear close, as Saturday presents a coin flip scenario with a 50 percent chance of showers, and a noticeable drop in the high, settling near 60. The city gets some reprieve by Saturday night, though sleeting showers linger at a diminished 20 percent likelihood and lower lows around 39. Those looking for a clearer sky will find solace come Sunday, with forecasts calling for mostly sunny conditions and the mercury stooping to a cooler high around 50, carrying Atlantans into a new week with the hope of clearer skies.
