Atlanta, GA – A gray, misty start greets metro Atlanta this morning as light rain and patchy fog move across the region. Drivers on I-75, I-285, and GA-400 should prepare for reduced visibility during the early commute, with low clouds and damp pavement lingering through late morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, rain chances will taper off by midday as drier air filters in from the northwest. Temperatures hover near 50°F today, rising into the mid to upper 50s by midweek under mostly sunny skies. Winds may gust up to 20 mph this afternoon as the system exits.
By Tuesday, sunshine dominates, bringing calmer conditions and highs near 50°F, ideal for outdoor errands or yard cleanup. Wednesday and Thursday look even warmer, with highs reaching 56–58°F and overnight lows staying above freezing. For many across Georgia, this marks a brief December warmup before cooler air returns late week.
Meteorologists note a slight chance for showers Thursday night, but overall travel conditions remain favorable into the weekend. Despite the mild stretch, forecasters continue tracking a cold front developing across the central U.S., expected to move east after Dec. 11, potentially bringing a sharp cooldown and early winter-like pattern for the Southeast.
Residents are advised to use caution in early fog, then enjoy the clear, crisp afternoons ahead as Georgia gets a brief break from unsettled weather.
