Atlanta, Georgia — Unseasonably warm temperatures across metro Atlanta are expected to continue through midweek, approaching record highs.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Sunday’s temperatures will remain slightly cooler under cloudy skies, but above-normal warmth is forecast to build again during the early part of the week.
Forecast highs across the metro Atlanta area are expected to reach the upper 70s to lower 80s from Monday through Wednesday. Typical early March highs in the region average around 64 to 65 degrees, meaning afternoon temperatures could run 15 to 20 degrees above normal, according to the agency.
A temperature graphic shared by the National Weather Service shows highs climbing from the mid-70s early in the week to around 82 degrees Wednesday, potentially approaching record levels for the date.
The warm stretch is expected to end late Wednesday as a cold front moves through Georgia, bringing temperatures back closer to typical March conditions.
Following the front, highs may drop significantly, with temperatures projected to fall into the lower 60s by Thursday before gradually warming again later in the week.
The National Weather Service said the brief cool-down will bring temperatures closer to seasonal averages after several days of above-normal warmth.
For commuters and students across the metro region, the warm conditions may feel more like late spring than early March during the first half of the week.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service as the midweek cold front approaches.
