Atlanta, GA – Residents across metro Atlanta and North Georgia will experience a warm, springlike weekend before a sharp temperature drop ushers in much cooler conditions to close out 2025.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, temperatures through Sunday will run 15 to 20 degrees above normal, with afternoon highs reaching the low to mid-70s across much of the Atlanta metro area. Saturday and Sunday are expected to feel more like early spring than late December, offering favorable conditions for outdoor activities.
Forecast data for metro Atlanta shows highs near 75 degrees Saturday, cooling slightly into the low 70s Sunday, with overnight lows remaining mild. The warmth, however, will be short-lived.
A cold front is expected to move through North Georgia on Monday, bringing a noticeable shift in conditions. Isolated light rain showers may develop Sunday, particularly across North Georgia, with a better chance for scattered light rain on Monday as the front passes through the region.
Behind the front, temperatures are forecast to fall quickly. By Tuesday, highs may struggle to reach the upper 40s, with overnight lows dipping into the mid-20s across parts of metro Atlanta. That swing would place temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below normal, marking a dramatic contrast from the weekend warmth.
Forecasters say the cooler pattern will persist into midweek, with highs remaining in the low 50s by Wednesday and Thursday as Georgia transitions into the first days of 2026.
Drivers and travelers are encouraged to stay weather-aware early next week, especially during morning commutes when colder temperatures may be more noticeable. Residents with travel or outdoor plans should also prepare for rapidly changing conditions.
