ATLANTA, Ga. – North Georgia is set for one more round of sunshine and warmth before a refreshing fall cooldown sweeps in by Friday. Early risers Wednesday can expect mild temperatures near 60°F, climbing into the low 80s by afternoon. That unseasonable warmth won’t last much longer, though—a shift toward more typical October air arrives just in time for the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, a light northwest breeze will increase Thursday and Friday as cooler, drier air filters into the region. Highs will slide from the low 80s to the upper 70s, then settle into the lower 70s by Sunday. Evening lows will dip near 56°F Friday night and could reach the low 50s by early next week. Drivers along I-75 and I-85 may notice more leaf debris and light gusts Friday afternoon, especially near open stretches south of the perimeter.
Families heading to pumpkin patches or fall festivals this weekend will enjoy mostly sunny skies and crisp, comfortable air. Saturday looks ideal for outdoor events, though a few scattered showers may develop late Saturday night into early Sunday. Residents are encouraged to secure lightweight decorations and plan outdoor cleanups early in the day while winds remain calm.
Long-range trends hint at a stronger push of autumn chill early next week, signaling prime leaf-viewing days across north and central Georgia. Cooler nights will dominate the final stretch of October as the region finally settles into a true fall pattern.
