After a morning of storms in Atlanta, residents can expect calmer weather conditions to prevail into the night, with temperatures falling to the middle to upper 60s. However, individuals planning early morning activities should prepare for a muggy atmosphere and the potential for additional storms later in the weekend.
Sunday has been declared a First Alert Weather Day once again, signaling the approach of another thunderstorm system. Storms are anticipated to arrive in West Georgia by late morning and could make their way into the metro area around 8-9 AM. Some storms may be severe, bringing gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail. As the day progresses, storms should move southeast by late afternoon, clearing the way for a dry evening.
Temperatures are expected to rise significantly on Monday, reaching near 90 degrees with high humidity. This pattern will continue into Tuesday, but residents should be aware of another First Alert Weather Day on Wednesday due to an incoming cold front that will introduce rain and storms. While the exact timing is still being determined, this front will also significantly reduce humidity, dropping overnight lows into the 50s by Thursday and Friday.
By the end of the week, high temperatures are forecasted to settle in the low to mid-70s. However, as Memorial Day Weekend approaches, warmer weather might return, accompanied by the possibility of additional rainfall.
The fluctuating temperatures and stormy patterns highlight the unpredictable nature of spring weather in Georgia. Embracing the cooler temperatures during the week ahead might provide a refreshing change before the typical summer heat sets in.
