Atlanta is getting a brief break from the soggy summer routine Wednesday, with clear skies and temperatures around 77°F early in the morning. The city should stay mostly sunny and dry as temperatures climb to about 93°F, with northwest winds adding a little movement to the air. The forecast calls for a low near 71°F Wednesday night.
A Dry, Breezy Wednesday
The air may start sticky, but conditions should feel less oppressive than in recent days as humidity eases through the afternoon. Northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph could gust up to 20 mph, while the formal Heat Advisory remains focused on far southern parts of the broader forecast area, not Atlanta.
According to the National Weather Service, storm chances will stay minimal around metro Atlanta through Thursday. That marks a noticeable shift from the unsettled pattern described in earlier Atlanta coverage.
Sunny Thursday And Friday
Thursday looks like the week's easiest outdoor day, with sunshine, a high near 91°F and a comfortable nighttime low around 69°F. Friday will be mostly sunny as well, though temperatures rebound to about 93°F before dipping to roughly 73°F overnight.
Storm Chances Return This Weekend
The weather turns more unsettled Saturday, when a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected and the high reaches about 91°F. Storm chances rise to around 70% Saturday night and Sunday, with Sunday topping out near 87°F under mostly cloudy skies.
Showers and thunderstorms remain likely into Monday, when the high should stay near 87°F, before Tuesday brings another chance of storms and a high around 88°F. Anyone making weekend plans should keep a backup option handy and head indoors promptly if lightning or a strong storm develops.
