Georgia residents should prepare for a warm and breezy weekend as spring weather takes center stage. Atlanta, in particular, is set to experience high temperatures near 87°F on Saturday, accompanied by wind gusts reaching 25 mph. With conditions that feel much warmer, it’s important for locals to stay informed and ready for these rapidly changing weather conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the clear skies will usher in a mild yet windy Saturday, perfect for outdoor activities but with a need for caution regarding the wind. These gusts, combined with warm temperatures, could create challenging conditions for drivers, especially on major roadways like Interstate 75 and Interstate 285. Travelers are urged to exercise extra caution when navigating areas exposed to wind, which could affect visibility and handling.

On Sunday, however, there is a 40% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, potentially bringing heavy rain in the late afternoon and evening hours.
Looking ahead to Monday, the rain is expected to continue, but conditions will clear by the evening. With spring weather shifting, it’s essential to monitor updates as scattered thunderstorms could impact travel plans or outdoor events.
