Atlanta, Georgia – Afternoon thunderstorms could put a damper on Labor Day weekend plans across Georgia as a wave of scattered showers rolls in daily through Monday. While temperatures will stay mild, isolated to numerous thunderstorms—especially across central and northern parts of the state—may lead to brief downpours and delays for outdoor events.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, showers already affecting central Georgia Saturday morning are expected to linger into the late afternoon. Highs will range from the mid-70s to upper 80s, with overnight lows dipping into the mid-50s to upper 60s.
Sunday brings more of the same, with cloudy skies and scattered storms possible from north to south Georgia. Isolated lightning and localized street flooding remain the primary threats, particularly in low-lying or poorly drained areas.
By Labor Day, conditions trend slightly sunnier but remain unstable, with pop-up thunderstorms forecast in northern Georgia by late afternoon. Residents and travelers should monitor radar updates and avoid open water or elevated areas during thunderstorm activity.
Storm chances are expected to taper off by Tuesday, but more advisories could be issued if conditions shift.
