Atlanta is starting Monday with fog, mist and temperatures around 70 degrees, but the soggy stretch is beginning to ease. Patchy fog should linger through the morning before clouds take over, with the city climbing to about 78 degrees by afternoon.

Rain chances are low around Atlanta today, though a few lingering showers or areas of drizzle remain possible as Sunday’s wet weather winds down. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the city, according to the National Weather Service.

Tuesday Brings Sunshine And A Noticeable Reset

Monday night, clouds will begin to scatter in north Georgia, with a low near 62, followed by a sunnier and breezier Tuesday. Highs should reach about 77 degrees, with east winds running 10 to 15 mph and overnight temperatures dipping to around 57.

That drier pattern is a sharp change from the stormy setup covered in Hoodline’s Sunday forecast. For commuters and anyone trying to salvage outdoor plans, the biggest issue Monday is likely to be low clouds and damp pavement rather than another round of widespread rain.

Sunny 80s Arrive Before The Weekend Turns Wetter

Dry weather holds through the middle of the week, with sunny skies and highs near 80 on Wednesday and 84 on Thursday. Friday stays mostly sunny with a high around 82, while nighttime lows remain mostly in the upper 50s.

Rain chances rise again Saturday, when showers and thunderstorms could develop from late morning into the afternoon and evening. Sunday looks wetter and cooler, with showers and thunderstorms likely at times, breezy east winds of 15 to 20 mph and a high near 72.
