Atlanta is starting Monday with clear skies, crisp temperatures in the 50s and a sunny afternoon ahead. The high should reach about 72 degrees, with a light northeast breeze keeping the air comfortable rather than sticky. For once, the forecast is not trying to turn a simple outdoor plan into a group project.

Sunny And Dry Through Friday

The National Weather Service expects dry weather across metro Atlanta through the end of the workweek, with highs in the low to upper 70s. Tuesday should reach around 75 degrees, Wednesday will be partly sunny near 73, and Thursday will be sunny near 75.

Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with a mostly sunny high near 77. Overnight lows will stay cooler, ranging from the upper 40s early in the week to the upper 50s by Friday, so morning commuters and early outdoor exercisers may still want a light jacket.

Winds will generally stay manageable, though Wednesday could bring east winds of 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. The latest outlook from the National Weather Service lists no weather alerts for the Atlanta area.

Halloween Weekend Gets Less Certain

Saturday daytime still looks generally pleasant for Halloween activities, with temperatures uncertain but generally in the 70s and little to no chance of rain. The forecast changes Saturday night, when rain chances rise to about 40% and a few showers or thunderstorms could develop.

Sunday carries a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with partly sunny skies and a high near 74. That weekend shift is a substantive update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which had emphasized a dry stretch through Halloween.
