Georgia commuters are stepping into a cool 44-degree morning under mostly cloudy skies as winds whip across metro Atlanta. The air feels damp, and showers are lining up to move in after sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances climb sharply through the day, reaching 90 percent by Thursday. Highs top out near 62 degrees today with southwest winds between 10 and 15 mph, gusting up to 25 mph. Showers become more widespread by Thursday morning, and a rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out late Thursday night.
Drivers along I-75, I-85, and the Downtown Connector should expect wet pavement and reduced visibility during heavier showers. While no freezing issues are expected, ponding on roads may slow the evening commute. Allow extra distance between vehicles and keep headlights on in steady rain.
Showers linger into early Friday before tapering. Highs hold near 65 degrees Friday with partial sunshine returning late. The weekend delivers a noticeable spring tease. Saturday climbs to 69 degrees under mostly sunny skies, and Sunday surges to 74 with bright sun.
Early next week stays mild, with highs in the low 70s Monday and upper 60s Tuesday. A few spotty showers are possible, but no major cold snap is in sight. Longer-range outlooks hint at above-normal temperatures building into early March, reinforcing those early spring vibes.

Wednesday: Mostly cloudy, high 62.
