Atlanta is starting Saturday clear and cool, with temperatures around 54 degrees before a sunny afternoon pushes the city close to 70. The tradeoff for all that blue sky is a northeast breeze that will make exposed spots feel brisk, especially later in the day.
Sunny Saturday, Breezy Sunday
Saturday stays rain-free from morning through evening, with northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph and gusts up to 20 mph. Sunday brings another sunny day near 70, but the wind picks up to 10 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday night should be mostly clear with a low near 50, and Sunday night turns clear again around 50. The dry pattern means easy outdoor plans, though anyone using grills or outdoor flames should keep the wind in mind and follow local rules.
Warmup Arrives By Midweek
Monday will be sunny and a little warmer, topping out near 72 after a cooler night around 46. Tuesday reaches about 74 under mostly sunny skies, while Wednesday stays mostly sunny near 71 with only a 1% rain chance.
Thursday and Friday look like the warmest stretch of the forecast, with highs near 75 and 77. Overnight lows remain mostly in the upper 40s to around 50, so mornings will still feel like fall even as afternoons drift back toward T-shirt weather.
No Rain In Sight
No meaningful rain is expected through Friday, and the local forecast currently carries no watches or warnings. The latest update shifts the focus from last week's dry-weather fire concern to a straightforward weekend forecast: sun, wind, cool mornings and a gradual warmup.
That is a calmer sequel to Hoodline's earlier Atlanta forecast, which focused on the dry, windy stretch and elevated fire danger. For Saturday plans, sunscreen may be more useful than an umbrella, but a light jacket will earn its keep before lunch.
