Atlanta is starting Tuesday beneath low clouds, with low clouds expected to persist into early afternoon across much of North Georgia, mild temperatures and ENE-to-ESE winds with occasional gusts of 20 to 22 knots. The high should reach around 75 degrees, but the week is about to take a much wetter turn.
Tuesday stays mostly cloudy through the afternoon, with rain chances remaining near zero. The precipitation chance rises to 30% Tuesday night, while temperatures dip to around 64 overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday Brings The Wettest Stretch
Showers and thunderstorms become likely Wednesday, with a 90% chance of rain and a high near 73 degrees. A few showers could arrive before 7 a.m., followed by more widespread wet weather through the day.
Severe weather is not expected, but isolated nuisance flooding remains possible in low-lying and poorly drained areas Wednesday into Thursday. Parts of North Georgia could receive 1 to 2 inches of rain through Thursday, making the wetter outlook a notable step up from the earlier Atlanta forecast.
Warm Thursday, Cooler Weekend
Thursday stays warm at around 77 degrees with scattered showers, followed by mostly sunny skies Friday and a high near 73. The pattern finally settles Saturday, when Atlanta should see mostly sunny skies and a high near 72.
Monday turns sunny and cooler near 64 degrees; no watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted.
