Atlanta, Georgia – A rapid early-week warmup followed by returning rain will shape weather conditions across metro Atlanta, potentially affecting travel and outdoor activity.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, temperatures will climb quickly at the start of the week, rising from weekend highs in the 50s into the upper 60s and lower 70s by Tuesday. Overnight lows will also moderate, moving from the upper 20s and 30s into the 40s and low 50s.
Sunday is expected to be partly cloudy, with highs near 59 degrees. Morning clouds linger Monday before skies partially clear, pushing highs into the upper 60s. Tuesday is forecast to be the warmest day of the week, with highs reaching approximately 73 to 74 degrees across the Atlanta area.
Rain chances increase beginning Wednesday, when scattered showers are expected with a 50% chance of precipitation. Showers are forecast to continue Thursday through Saturday, with daily rain chances ranging from 30% to 50%. High temperatures during the latter half of the week are expected to trend downward, settling back into the low to mid-60s.
These changing conditions may impact commuters along major corridors including Interstate 75, Interstate 85, and the Interstate 285 perimeter, particularly during morning and evening travel periods later in the week. Drivers should remain alert for slick roadways during periods of rain.
The National Weather Service notes that while no severe weather is currently indicated, rain chances are expected to persist through the weekend, potentially affecting outdoor events and travel planning.
This outlook is especially relevant for students, young professionals, and daily commuters adjusting to fluctuating temperatures and midweek rain.
