Atlanta is waking to clear skies Tuesday, with morning temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s across the area and a mild afternoon ahead. The city should reach about 72 degrees before slipping back toward 50 Tuesday night, giving residents one more easy day for outdoor plans before a sharper weekend cooldown.
Sunny Through Veterans Day
Tuesday will be partly sunny with light northwest winds and almost no chance of rain. According to the National Weather Service, Veterans Day on Wednesday will stay sunny and warm near 72 degrees, though west winds could gust to 20 mph.
The latest outlook sharpens the weekend chill flagged in Monday's Hoodline forecast. Thursday brings mostly sunny skies, a high near 65 and a small chance of rain, mainly across north Georgia, before colder air settles in.
Cold Weekend Brings Frost Risk
Friday will be sunny but much cooler, with a high near 52 and northwest winds between 15 and 20 mph. Saturday should be similarly sunny, with a high around 53, but overnight temperatures are forecast to fall to about 34 degrees.
Models put Sunday morning lows at or below freezing for most of the area, before sunshine pushes the high to around 59. Forecasters say this weekend could bring the coldest temperatures of the season so far, with widespread frost and freezing conditions across the region; Atlanta-area residents should protect sensitive plants and plan on a real jacket for early-morning errands.
Monday currently looks partly cloudy, with a high around 48 degrees and winds near 10 mph. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for the Atlanta forecast area.
