Atlanta is waking up to a crisp, sunny Saturday, with temperatures near 60 degrees early and an afternoon high around 81. The dry, comfortable weather will stick around through Sunday before a steady warm-up sends temperatures toward the upper 80s next week.

Sunny Weekend Brings Fall-Like Feel

Saturday will stay sunny with northerly flow over North and Central Georgia on September 26, 2026, and no rain expected, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures will fall to about 57 degrees Saturday night under mostly clear skies, so early risers and evening plans may want an extra layer.

Sunday will bring another sunny day with a high near 81 and northerly flow. Sunday night will be clear and cool, with temperatures dipping to around 55.

Heat Builds Into Next Week

Atlanta’s brief taste of fall will fade quickly Monday, when the high is expected to reach 85. Temperatures are forecast to warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s next week.

Rain chances remain near zero through Wednesday, but shower and thunderstorm chances return Thursday.
