Atlanta, GA – Drivers across metro Atlanta should watch for slick spots Thursday as isolated showers roll through during the morning and again after sunset. Roadways like I-75, I-20, and I-285 could see brief wet patches that create tricky conditions for commuters.

According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Thursday will bring a slight chance of showers before 7 a.m., followed by another round after 5 p.m. Highs will climb near 87°F, with light southwest winds. The rain chance stays low, but even a short shower could slow traffic or cause delays.

Friday turns hotter, reaching 92°F under mostly sunny skies. Tailgaters and fans planning for high school football should stay hydrated as heat lingers into the evening. Saturday will cool slightly but brings a 20% chance of thunderstorms, especially late in the day, which may interfere with outdoor events.

By Sunday, metro Atlanta shifts into a more fall-like pattern with highs around 82°F under sunny skies. The cooler, calmer weather extends into early next week, giving residents a break from the late-summer heat.
