Atlanta, Ga. – North Georgia starts the new week under a dome of late-summer heat, with clear skies and temperatures nearing 90 degrees. The warm, dry pattern continues to raise safety concerns for drivers on I-75 and other busy Atlanta roadways as heat builds through midweek. Residents should prepare for extended sun exposure, carry water when traveling, and monitor children and pets closely in vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Monday will reach 86 degrees under bright skies, followed by 88 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Overnight lows in the mid-60s will bring little relief, making hydration and heat precautions essential. Breezy east winds up to 5 mph may offer slight comfort during the afternoon but won’t significantly lower heat risks.
Metro Atlanta, along with surrounding counties including Fulton, DeKalb, and Clayton, will see uninterrupted sun until Thursday. Outdoor workers and students at after-school sports should take breaks and stay shaded to prevent heat-related illness. Though skies remain calm, officials urge residents to continue practicing caution in hot vehicles and to check on vulnerable neighbors.
Looking ahead, the pattern shifts late week. Thursday remains near 90, but storm chances return by Saturday with a 20 percent risk of afternoon showers. That system could break the dry spell and cool conditions across the metro. Until then, the focus remains on managing daytime heat and long sun exposure.
More advisories may follow if storm coverage expands into next weekend. For now, dry heat continues to dominate.
