Georgia — Showers are already sliding across metro Atlanta this morning, and the air feels heavy as temperatures sit near 58 degrees. Wet pavement and scattered thunder could slow travel before midday, especially along I-75 and I-85.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, scattered thunderstorms will develop across north and central Georgia today. A few storms could turn strong between noon and 6 p.m., mainly south and east of Atlanta. Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern, though small hail or a brief spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out.
Showers remain likely before midday, then become more scattered this afternoon. Winds may gust up to 25 mph at times. If thunder roars, move indoors immediately. Secure loose outdoor items and monitor local alerts.
Conditions shift quickly by Sunday. Sunshine returns, but temperatures fall sharply. Highs reach only the upper 40s, and brisk northwest winds gust as high as 35 mph. By early Monday morning, lows dip into the mid-20s across metro Atlanta. Wind chills could fall into the teens, creating a sharp late-February cold snap.
Bundle up for the Monday commute. Protect pets and cover sensitive plants.
Temperatures rebound Tuesday into the low 50s under sunny skies. By midweek, highs climb into the 60s with increasing clouds and rain chances returning Wednesday night into Thursday.
Long-range trends favor above-normal temperatures late next week, offering early spring vibes across north Georgia.
