Atlanta opened Thursday, November 5, under cloudy skies and temperatures around 70 degrees, with damp, muggy air setting up a gray commute. Patchy fog and rain showers are possible this morning, and the city is headed for a warm but unsettled afternoon near 75.
Fog And Showers Could Complicate The Morning
The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City says dense fog could reduce visibility to a quarter-mile in parts of North and Central Georgia through 10 a.m., making for a potentially tricky drive. In Atlanta, rain showers have a 40% chance Thursday, with light southwest winds and mostly cloudy skies, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday Starts The Weather Reset
Thursday night should see a low around 59 degrees and a 10% chance of rain. Friday brings a cleaner break: mostly sunny skies, a high near 72 and northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph, followed by a Friday-night low around 50.
Sunny Weekend Brings Cooler Nights
Saturday looks sunny with a high near 66, while Sunday should be sunny and slightly warmer near 67. Overnight lows will be noticeably cooler, falling to about 43 Saturday night and 44 Sunday night, so early-morning plans may call for more than a light jacket.
Dry Stretch Extends Into Veterans Day
Mostly sunny weather is expected Monday and Tuesday, with highs near 68 before Veterans Day turns sunny and reaches about 69 degrees. The latest forecast shifts Atlanta away from the wetter midweek setup described in an earlier Hoodline forecast, replacing the stormier outlook with a foggy, showery Thursday followed by several quieter days.
