ATLANTA, Georgia – A thin layer of cloud cover hangs over the city before dawn, dimming the skyline’s usual morning glow. Streetlights shimmer faintly on damp pavement — the early signs of a changing weather pattern across north Georgia.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, today begins mostly cloudy and mild, with highs near 56°F and a cool northeast breeze. A few light drizzles may linger through mid-morning, but steadier rain holds off until midweek. Tuesday remains mostly gray, setting the stage for showers to arrive on Wednesday.
Wednesday brings the best chance of rain, particularly after sunrise. Showers will be scattered at first, then more frequent through the afternoon as moisture builds along the I-75 and I-85 corridors. Temperatures will hover in the mid-50s, with a light east wind adding a chill to the air. By Wednesday night, rainfall becomes widespread, though it’s expected to taper early Thursday as drier air filters in.
Thursday improves quickly — clouds thin, sunshine breaks through, and highs rebound to the upper 50s. By Friday, the payoff arrives: a crisp, sunny Halloween with highs near 61°F and calm breezes. Expect temperatures to dip into the mid-50s by trick-or-treat time, perfect for light jackets and outdoor plans.
The weekend stays quiet and pleasant, with sunny skies Saturday and Sunday and highs in the mid-60s — a great setup for late-season yard work or early holiday decorating. After all, models hint at a colder November start ahead.
