Atlanta’s Halloween starts with cloudy skies and temperatures around 58 to 60 degrees early Saturday, October 31, but the day is expected to turn mostly cloudy as east winds strengthen. The high should reach 72, giving trick-or-treaters a mild afternoon — with a little more wind than the costumes may have ordered.
Cloudy, Breezy Halloween Stays Mostly Dry
Rain is unlikely during the day, with a 0% chance in the latest forecast; Saturday night has a 10% chance. East winds will run 10 to 15 mph and could gust as high as 25 mph, while Saturday night turns cloudy with a low near 57. Lightweight decorations may need extra attention before the evening gets underway.
The weekend forecast includes a rain chance Sunday, with a more unsettled pattern building later next week.
Sunday Brings A Small Shower Chance
Sunday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 67, and a better, though still low, chance of showers is possible after 12Z Sunday (7 a.m. EST). The chance of rain rises to 30% Sunday night before temperatures fall to around 55. Monday looks mostly cloudy and mild, with a high near 71.
Storm Chances Rise Midweek
Tuesday should turn partly sunny with a high near 73, but shower and thunderstorm chances increase Tuesday night to about 40%. Wednesday brings a 50% chance of rain, with showers and thunderstorms likely at times, while unsettled weather may continue Thursday. Friday currently looks mostly sunny near 73, with only a slight chance of morning showers.
The National Weather Service in Atlanta has no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the area. For Saturday plans, a light layer and some protection for loose outdoor items should be enough; umbrellas become more useful Sunday and especially from midweek onward.
