Atlanta, GA – A stormy pattern is set to disrupt the week across metro Atlanta, beginning with a significant chance for thunderstorms late Tuesday morning that could impact travel and outdoor activities.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop after 11 a.m. on Tuesday, carrying a 60 percent chance of precipitation. The activity is expected to continue into the evening, with storms most probable before 8 p.m. Residents should anticipate a high temperature of around 87 degrees, with south winds of 5 to 10 mph and gusts as high as 20 mph.
The wet weather offers little relief for those with mid-week plans. While Wednesday brings a slightly lower 30 percent chance of storms, the threat ramps up again just in time for the Juneteenth holiday. Mostly sunny skies Thursday morning will likely give way to another round of thunderstorms after 2 p.m., with a 60 percent probability that could disrupt afternoon celebrations.
This unsettled pattern of afternoon storms is expected to linger through the end of the workweek and into the weekend. The consistent chance for pop-up showers will keep conditions humid as temperatures climb toward the low 90s by Saturday.
Residents should stay aware of changing conditions and have a reliable method for receiving weather alerts, as sudden storms will be a recurring theme.
