Peachtree City, GA – A significant warm-up is on the horizon for Georgia this week, with temperatures reaching the first 90°F highs of the year. Starting Wednesday, April 2, a gradual increase in temperatures will push the mercury higher, and by Friday, some areas—especially Atlanta—could see 90°F or hotter.
What to Expect: The upcoming heat is expected to come in quick, with mid-70s on Tuesday and highs of 80°F on Wednesday. However, the real heat will arrive Friday, with temperatures potentially soaring past 90°F for the first time this year.
