Atlanta, Ga. – Drivers heading into the new workweek across Georgia could face slick spots today as isolated showers and storms develop. Commuters along I-75 and I-20 should plan for slower travel, especially during the afternoon and evening rush.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, scattered thunderstorms will stretch across much of north and central Georgia through tonight. While severe weather is not expected, brief downpours and gusty winds could cause issues on secondary roads and highways. Power outages are unlikely, but outdoor plans may face disruptions.
On Tuesday, storm chances will continue in northern and east-central Georgia before drier air pushes in by evening. By Wednesday, the start of October will bring a return of sunshine and seasonable fall temperatures. Daytime highs will hover in the upper 70s to low 80s with lower humidity, giving residents a more comfortable midweek stretch.
Areas including Atlanta, Macon, Athens, and Gainesville will benefit from the midweek clearing. Those traveling for work or school on Wednesday morning should find smoother conditions on major highways, with visibility improving after today’s unsettled skies.
Residents are advised to stay alert for brief downpours and lightning through Tuesday, avoid flooded low-lying roads, and allow extra time for commutes.
More stable conditions will dominate later in the week, setting up a clear and mild first weekend of October.
