Atlanta, GA – Drivers across north and central Georgia could face slick commutes late Sunday as scattered thunderstorms develop ahead of a weak cold front. The main storm window runs from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., with brief downpours and patchy fog making travel on I-75, I-285, and local roadways more hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, the risk for widespread severe weather remains low, but motorists should slow down in heavy rain and use extra caution after sunset. Spotter activation is not expected tonight, but localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible if downpours linger.
Conditions improve sharply by Monday, August 25, as dry, sunny weather takes hold across metro Atlanta and much of north Georgia. Highs will reach the low-to-mid 80s, with northwesterly breezes providing some relief from weekend humidity. Clear skies continue through midweek, keeping commutes and outdoor plans in good shape.
By late Friday into Saturday, storm chances return at around 20 to 30 percent, though severe weather is not expected at this time. Residents should monitor updates if planning outdoor activities heading into next weekend.
