ATLANTA, GA – A golden sunrise stretches over downtown Atlanta, casting long light across dew-covered fields in Fayette and Coweta counties. The air feels crisp, calm, and unmistakably fall — the kind of morning where a light jacket feels just right. After a quiet night, north and central Georgia are waking to several days of textbook autumn weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, skies will stay clear and winds light across metro Atlanta today, with highs reaching the low 70s. Monday marks the start of a dry, stable pattern that will dominate through Wednesday. It’s perfect weather for outdoor errands, school activities, and early fall yardwork before conditions turn breezier later in the week.
By Tuesday, temperatures climb toward the upper 70s under plenty of sunshine. A light southwest wind will develop through the afternoon, hinting at a small midweek transition. Models show slightly lower humidity and a touch more wind Wednesday, as a weak front brushes across north Georgia.
The second half of the week stays mild and sunny, though nighttime readings will trend cooler — dipping into the mid-40s by Thursday in rural valleys. It’s not cold enough for frost yet, but it’s an early sign of the fall chill that’s waiting just upstream.
Heading into the weekend, another stretch of sunshine and upper 70s will make for ideal festival and hiking weather — a picture-perfect October finish across north Georgia.
