Atlanta, Ga. – Clear skies and dry roads will give metro Atlanta drivers a smooth start Tuesday, with little weather disruption expected. Temperatures will climb near 88 degrees by afternoon, keeping the stretch of I-75 and surrounding highways warm but manageable for commuters.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, conditions will stay sunny through midweek with daytime highs ranging from 85 to 90. Calm winds and dry air will keep humidity tolerable, but the region’s first real chance of rain in days arrives Saturday. A 20 to 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms could develop by the weekend, potentially impacting outdoor events and slowing travel across north Georgia.
Residents should enjoy the extended stretch of dry fall-like weather while it lasts. Midweek afternoons will stay warm under mostly sunny skies, while overnight lows hover in the mid-60s, offering cooler evenings for outdoor activities. Anyone planning weekend trips should monitor updated forecasts, as scattered storms could affect both Atlanta and surrounding suburbs.
The warm pattern also means extra caution for outdoor workers and those attending large gatherings, with hydration and sun protection recommended during peak afternoon hours.
Weather models show the dry stretch breaking by late Friday night into Saturday, when clouds thicken and the storm threat builds. While rainfall totals remain uncertain, forecasters warn of localized downpours and lightning through Sunday evening.
Drivers, especially along I-75, should be prepared for slower traffic if storms develop this weekend. More updates are expected as the system approaches.
