Georgia – The air feels calm and crisp across Atlanta this morning, the kind of late-fall stillness that often precedes a shift. Blue skies and cool sunshine will dominate through Friday and Saturday, but meteorologists say changes are coming fast — with showers likely by Sunday as early December ushers in a cooler, wetter pattern.
Today stays pleasant with highs near 48°F under full sun. Friday brings more of the same, though winds turn light and variable, keeping the air comfortable but dry. Saturday remains mild with highs near 51°F, perfect for outdoor plans or travel wrapping up the holiday weekend.
By Saturday evening, clouds begin building, and a 30% chance of rain develops after sunset. Sunday’s conditions turn noticeably wetter, with showers likely across metro Atlanta and north Georgia — a 70% chance of rain through afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Expect wet pavement, lower visibility, and slower traffic along I-75, I-85, and I-20, especially for returning travelers.
Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday stay mostly cloudy with lingering showers and cooler highs near the low 50s. NOAA’s latest 6–10 day outlook suggests a broad dip in temperatures across the Southeast from Dec. 2–6, marking the region’s first real taste of winter.
