Atlanta is starting Sunday around 71 degrees, with hot, dry conditions expected to carry the city toward a high near 91. Rain should stay away from most of the metro area, giving outdoor plans a dry window before another burst of late-summer heat.
The National Weather Service puts Sunday’s rain chance at 0%, with a west wind at 5 to 10 knots. Monday turns hotter, reaching about 95 degrees, while no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Atlanta area.
A Dry Sunday After A Stormy Forecast Setup
The latest outlook is a sharp turn from the storm-focused weekend setup covered by Hoodline earlier this week. Sunday’s forecast is now far quieter, with no meaningful rain expected across Atlanta, although the heat and humidity will still make the afternoon feel distinctly summery.
Heat Builds Monday And Lingers All Week
After Monday’s 95-degree high, temperatures ease only slightly to around 91 on Tuesday, with Wednesday and Thursday afternoon highs largely in the upper 80s. Friday’s temperature is not specified, with rain chances staying at 15% or lower through Friday and increasing starting Friday.
Fog Possible In Parts Of North Georgia
Patchy dense fog is possible Sunday morning in parts of northeast Georgia, particularly in areas that recently received heavy rain. Reduced visibility is possible in parts of northeast Georgia early Sunday, but drivers heading northeast should be ready for localized pockets of reduced visibility.
Saturday is expected to be mostly cloudy, with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a 50% Saturday-night precipitation chance. Until then, the practical game plan is simple: schedule strenuous outdoor activity earlier in the day, drink plenty of water and keep some shade nearby, because Atlanta’s dry spell comes with a full serving of heat.
