Atlanta residents can expect a variable week ahead with showers and sunny days interspersed, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. Published reports confirm that, after today's thunderstorms and showers with a near certain probability of precipitation, skies will clear up leading to a sunny Washington's Birthday with a high of 67 degrees.
The current conditions will pivot before the day's end, bringing a 30 percent chance of showers this evening and a low around 46 degrees, the National Weather Service predicts, with patchy fog appearing and then lifting by midnight as citizens enjoy their night—many likely indoors as the weather decides its temperamental dance. While Washington's Birthday should be foggy in the morning, the expectation is a clear sky later on, with a high reaching an enjoyable 67 degrees under a northwestern light breeze that turns eastward in the afternoon.
Heading into the week, the forecast suggests an almost idyllic series of days: mostly sunny on Tuesday with a calm wind shifting south and a high near 69 degrees, followed by a clear night and a low around 52 degrees. Atlantans can look forward to more of the same on Wednesday, with the thermometer edging slightly higher to 71 degrees amidst mostly cloudy skies.
However, speculation about later in the week signals the potential for sporadic rainfall, as there's a 20 percent chance of showers both after 1am on Wednesday night and before 1pm on Thursday. The mercury is set to soar higher, with Thursday's high forecasted at 74 degrees, ramping up to 76 on Friday; both days present a more ambivalent forecast with a 50 percent chance of showers and lows hovering around the early 60s and low 50s respectively, ensuring that the week will have its patches of gray, drenched with varied chances of rain that may disrupt the warmth and sun Atlanta has been briefly treated to.
The roadmap of the sky continues its meandering path with an anticipated mostly sunny Saturday offering a 30 percent chance of showers but also a pleasant high near 66 degrees.
