Atlanta is starting Monday under a partly cloudy sky, but the clouds will give way to a mild afternoon near 73 degrees. East winds will run 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, keeping the day breezier than the thermometer suggests.

Mostly Dry Weather Holds Through Tuesday

Scattered light rain or drizzle is expected Sunday, with coverage decreasing by late afternoon or evening; Monday should be mostly dry. The National Weather Service forecast calls for partly cloudy skies Monday and a high of 73.

The forecast is a notable shift from Sunday’s wetter setup, with the focus now moving toward a mild two-day break before the next round of unsettled weather. Hoodline’s earlier Atlanta outlook flagged the broader pattern, while the latest update puts Monday and Tuesday in the mostly dry column.

Wednesday Brings The Week’s Main Weather Turn

Rain chances jump Wednesday, with showers possible in the morning before showers and thunderstorms become more likely after midday. The chance of precipitation rises to about 60%, and Wednesday night should remain showery and stormy with a low near 62.

Thursday stays unsettled, with a slight chance of showers. Wet conditions could still complicate commutes and outdoor plans across the metro area.

Sunny Skies Return For The Weekend

Friday looks mostly sunny with a high near 73, followed by a mostly sunny Saturday with a high near 72.

No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Atlanta area. For now, the practical forecast is simple: enjoy the mild start to the week, keep an umbrella handy Wednesday and Thursday, and expect a much calmer finish.
