Atlanta, GA – A cool, brisk start greets metro Atlanta this morning as patchy clouds drift east over I-75 and I-285. Leaves scatter across sidewalks, and the air carries a crisp edge—a sure sign that late fall has arrived in north Georgia.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, skies remain mostly cloudy early before turning partly sunny by midday. Northwest winds will gust between 20 and 30 mph, making the 50s feel cooler through the afternoon. Drivers on open highways should expect light crosswinds, especially across elevated routes south of the city.
Friday and Saturday bring bright sunshine and calm breezes, with highs warming into the lower 60s. Lows will dip into the upper 30s, bringing that “sweater weather” feel perfect for Halloween events, outdoor football games, or leaf cleanup across the metro.
By early next week, temperatures gradually climb back into the mid-60s, with dry skies continuing statewide. Still, forecasters note an early sign of a colder pattern developing around mid-November. Long-range models show the potential for Georgia’s first widespread frost or freeze across northern counties—possibly marking the true start of the winter transition.
For now, Atlanta enjoys a near-perfect fall stretch—sunny, breezy, and mild—but a reminder lingers on the horizon: winter isn’t far behind.
