Drivers in Peachtree City and across the Atlanta metro woke up Friday to fog and light rain, with patchy fog trimming visibility for the morning commute. Temperatures sit in the low to mid 50s for now and are expected to climb into the upper 60s later today as the main rain band continues to slide south.

Morning Commute: Fog And Patchy Showers

Patchy fog and spotty rain showers will linger through mid-morning, with the heaviest rain stacked before 7 a.m. Most spots should dry out by late morning as the frontal boundary pushes to the south. The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City notes overnight rain chances near 80 percent tapering to about 30 percent during the day, with new rainfall amounts generally limited to a few tenths of an inch.

Afternoon And Weekend Outlook

Skies trend mostly cloudy this afternoon with a high near 68°F and light northeast winds. A drier, milder stretch builds in for the weekend, with highs in the upper 60s Saturday and mid 70s on Sunday, a pattern first highlighted in an earlier Hoodline forecast on stormy Thursday commutes.

Plan And Tips

Give yourself extra time on the roads this morning and keep your low beams on in the fog, as some streets may still be damp from overnight showers. No watches or warnings are posted for the Atlanta area this morning, and winds are expected to remain light through the day, according to the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City.
