Atlanta gets two more sunny, warm days before Halloween weekend turns noticeably wetter. Thursday should reach 76 degrees under mostly sunny skies, with Friday warming to near 79 before rain chances begin rising late Saturday night.

Lower clouds are expected to filter in Thursday morning, after a Wednesday-night low of 55 degrees. Northeast winds will generally stay between 5 and 8 mph, and no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect.

Sunny Weather Holds Through Friday

Thursday night will be mostly clear with a low near 54, followed by a sunny Friday afternoon near 79 degrees. The National Weather Service expects dry conditions to continue through the end of the workweek, making Friday the warmest and easiest day for outdoor plans.

Halloween Starts Mild Before Rain Moves In

Saturday will be mostly cloudy but still relatively mild, with a high near 73 and only a slight daytime rain chance. The forecast turns less cooperative after 1 a.m. Sunday, when showers and thunderstorms could develop as temperatures fall to around 55 overnight.

Sunday looks like the wettest day of the extended forecast, with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a cooler high near 64. Precipitation should exit the area Monday afternoon or evening.
