Sunday, May 10, 2026, starts out on the murky side in the Atlanta metro, with patchy, locally dense fog cutting visibility across the region, especially along and south of I-20. Temperatures are sitting in the lower 60s near Peachtree City. The fog is expected to lift by late morning, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 83°F across the area.
Foggy Morning, Drive With Care
The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City issued a Special Weather Statement early Sunday, warning that pockets of dense fog could knock visibility down to less than a mile and may hang around through about 10 a.m. Drivers are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights and leave extra stopping distance during the morning commute. Stay alert on ramps and along river corridors where low-lying air often traps fog, and expect conditions to improve by late morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Commute And Flights
Plan on a little extra time for the morning drive, since sudden drops in visibility can trigger stop-and-go traffic, particularly on bridges and at busy interchanges. Operations at Hartsfield-Jackson are expected to be mostly normal, but early flights can see brief gate or arrival delays when the fog thickens, so check with your airline if you have an early departure. With light winds in the forecast, conditions should settle down quickly once the fog lifts.
What To Expect This Week
Once the fog clears, the area heads into a warm, mostly dry stretch, with highs near 83°F today and light northwest winds, then seasonable 70s to low 80s through midweek. A weak cold front on Monday may bring a slight chance of spotty showers and morning gusts to around 20 mph. Drier air follows for midweek, and the weekend looks warmer, with highs possibly reaching the mid 80s by Saturday. These details come from the National Weather Service.
