Georgia – A thin veil of fog and low clouds cling to parts of metro Atlanta this morning, softening skylines and dampening early commutes along I-75 and I-285.

Patchy dense fog developed across north and central Georgia, and drivers should use caution through mid-morning. Visibility may briefly dip in low-lying areas and near rivers. Conditions steadily improve as late-morning light mixes out the haze.

Temperatures sit in the low 50s at Hartsfield-Jackson, with mostly cloudy skies. Highs climb to 68 degrees this afternoon. A light southwest breeze keeps the air mild and slightly humid. A brief shower cannot be ruled out late tonight, but most neighborhoods stay dry.

Warmer air surges in Thursday. Highs jump to 76 with increasing clouds and scattered showers by afternoon. Showers become more widespread Thursday night into Friday. By Friday afternoon, thunderstorms are possible. While the overall severe risk remains low for now, a few storms could produce gusty winds. Stay weather-aware heading into the end of the workweek.

Showers linger into Saturday, with highs near 68. Sunday turns cooler and drier, with sunshine returning and highs near 52. Morning lows early next week dip into the upper 20s. After recent warmth, that chill could catch gardeners off guard.

Looking ahead into next week, temperatures moderate again. Longer-range trends hint at another stretch of above-normal warmth developing late next week, bringing early Spring vibes back to Georgia.
