Georgia wakes to a cool, crisp morning as light winds brush across metro Atlanta and the first sunlight catches on dry rooftops. The air feels sharp at sunrise, and drivers may notice a thin shimmer of frost in some shaded spots. With post-Thanksgiving travel ramping up today, conditions stay calm but will change quickly by Sunday.
Sunny skies dominate today as temperatures climb into the upper 40s. Northwest winds add a brisk edge, especially along I-75 and I-285 where gusts may push 15–20 mph at times. Travelers heading out early should appreciate the dry pavement and clear visibility, though the cool air keeps the day feeling firmly late-fall.
Saturday brings more sunshine and a milder afternoon near the mid-50s. Clouds creep in late, signaling the next system. Meteorologists are now tracking a Sunday shift as moisture builds from the southwest and a Winter Tease edges closer to the region. Models hint at steady showers developing by morning Sunday, which could slow early travel on I-20 and I-85.
Sunday stands as the wettest day of the weekend. Showers increase by mid-morning, with rainfall likely through afternoon as winds pick up from the east. Temperatures in the low 50s keep conditions well above any snow chance here, though colder states to the north may see rain-snow mixing as December begins. For Atlanta travelers flying out of Hartsfield–Jackson, expect smoother air travel in the morning and more delays possible by evening as regional moisture spreads east.
Looking ahead to December 2–6, a national cold front pushes from the Midwest toward the Southeast, bringing cooler-than-normal temperatures and a more active early-winter pattern. Rain chances may continue into early next week before skies clear.
