Atlanta’s steamy stretch is taking a noticeable break Wednesday, September 23, with mostly cloudy skies, low ceilings, light rain and drizzle early in the morning. A few light showers could pass through before the afternoon high reaches about 81, while east winds blow around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
Clouds, Fog And A Breezy East Wind
The chance of rain stays relatively low, at about 20%, but damp roads and pockets of fog could complicate the morning commute. The National Weather Service expects mostly cloudy conditions for much of the day, with a slight chance of showers continuing into the afternoon.
A few strong to severe thunderstorms could develop across far North Georgia Wednesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service, but Atlanta’s forecast calls for only a slight chance of showers and storms.

Thursday Brings A Noticeable Cooldown

Sunny Weekend, Then A Warm-Up
Friday starts a long dry spell, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 79. Saturday should be sunny near 82, followed by a mostly sunny Sunday around 84; morning lows will dip into the upper 50s and lower 60s.
