Atlanta, GA – Peachtree City drivers may need to watch the skies Wednesday afternoon as scattered thunderstorms threaten to disrupt travel during evening commutes. The National Weather Service warns storms could build after 2 p.m., bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and brief lightning threats across Fayette and Coweta counties. Those planning to travel on I-85 or I-75 should remain alert for sudden slowdowns and wet road conditions.
According to forecasters, Wednesday will start mostly sunny with a high near 84, before clouds build and storms spark later in the day. Storm chances remain into the late evening before skies partially clear overnight. South winds near 5 mph could shift storm cells quickly, increasing the risk of localized flooding on poorly drained streets.
Thursday brings a repeat chance of isolated afternoon storms, though sunshine will dominate most hours. Highs push toward 87, keeping late-summer warmth intact. By Friday, skies turn fully sunny with highs surging into the low 90s, delivering classic “football weather” ahead of high school games.
Weekend conditions look hot but manageable. Saturday stays mostly sunny with highs near 91, before cooling slightly Sunday with a chance of isolated showers. Evening lows hover in the upper 60s, offering mild relief.
