ATLANTA, Ga. – A few rumbles of thunder echo over north Georgia before dawn as a narrow band of showers sweeps toward metro Atlanta. Pavement glistens under streetlights, winds bend tree limbs, and temperatures hover near 65°F — the early signature of an active autumn front that will clear the region by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, showers and a few isolated thunderstorms will move through the Atlanta area this morning, especially before 11 a.m. Gusty south winds may reach 25 mph at times, briefly reducing visibility along I-75 and I-285. Rainfall totals should stay light, generally under a quarter inch, but a few spots could see heavier bursts.
By this afternoon, clouds break and the air dries quickly as northwest winds take over. Skies clear completely by sunset, dropping lows into the crisp upper 40s. Monday brings near-perfect conditions — sunshine, gentle breezes, and highs near 71°F. Tuesday will warm slightly into the upper 70s, marking the start of a tranquil, classic fall pattern across north Georgia.
Midweek remains dry, with highs in the low 70s and cool nights in the 40s. The pattern favors outdoor work, yard cleanup, and early Halloween decorating as humidity stays low. For now, no sign of frost or early winter chill appears, though long-range models hint at cooler air by next weekend. After today’s brief rain, Georgia slips into its most comfortable stretch of fall so far.
