Georgia – Warm November air sweeps across Atlanta this morning as a soft haze hangs over the skyline and early traffic fills I-75, I-85, and GA-400 with a steady hum. The pavement still carries last night’s mild sheen, giving commuters an easy but fast-moving start one week before Thanksgiving. Travelers should stay weather-aware as the pattern shifts toward a wetter setup late this week.
According to the National Weather Service Peachtree City office, partly sunny skies hold through much of today and Thursday as warm southwest winds nudge temperatures into the upper 70s—well above typical late-fall norms. Conditions stay calm and breezy with no immediate hazards, keeping air travel smooth for most early holiday departures.
According to GDOT, heavier volumes already appear on major connectors toward Hartsfield–Jackson, especially between College Park and Midtown. While roads remain dry, visibility may briefly dip under patches of haze along the Perimeter. The bigger travel impact arrives Friday when a weak disturbance moves in from the west. Models hint at scattered showers forming after lunchtime, which may slow the afternoon drive and tighten airport drop-off lanes.
To be fair, temperatures stay far from any Winter Weather concern. Still, the pattern shows an early sign of variability as cooler air approaches behind Friday’s system. No rain-snow mix is expected anywhere near metro Atlanta, yet travelers driving into the Appalachians should watch for sharper temperature changes through early next week.
The weekend leans warm and mostly sunny, offering ideal weather for yard cleanup, outdoor markets, or prepping for Thanksgiving. After all, it’s a quiet window before next week’s holiday surge.
