Atlanta is starting November on a gray and breezy note, with cloudy skies and temperatures around 54 degrees Sunday morning. A chance of rain showers will linger through the day as the city climbs only to about 63 degrees. It is not a total washout, but umbrellas should stay close.
Gray Sunday Gives Way To A Warmer Start
Sunday, November 1, could see scattered light rain or drizzle on and off through midday, with shower coverage fading by late afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service puts the rain chance near 40%, with only light accumulations possible, and says no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Atlanta area. The National Weather Service forecast also calls for east winds of 10 to 15 mph, with occasional gusts up to 20 mph.
Sunday night will remain mostly cloudy, with a low around 55 and a 20% chance of precipitation. Monday should feel more cooperative, bringing partly sunny skies and a high near 73, followed by another mild and mostly sunny day Tuesday with a high around 74. The trade-off is continued east wind, which could make the air feel less balmy than the thermometer suggests.
Midweek Storms Could Bring A Wetter Turn
The forecast becomes more unsettled Wednesday, when showers and thunderstorms are likely and the rain chance rises to about 60%. The outlook gives a 70% chance of precipitation Wednesday night, 30% Thursday morning and 20% Thursday night.
Rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches in areas along and north of I-85, while amounts may be lower south of the interstate, according to the National Weather Service discussion. The exact timing, rainfall totals and potential for stronger storms remain uncertain, so outdoor plans and commutes later in the week may need a weather check.
Friday turns mostly sunny, and Saturday currently looks mostly sunny with a high near 72. An earlier Hoodline forecast highlighted the return of rain around Halloween weekend; the newer forecast keeps the bigger weather story going into Wednesday and Thursday.
