A cold front has moved through North Georgia, bringing mild temperatures and lower humidity levels for residents as they head into the weekend. While there was a chance of isolated light showers overnight, Sunday is expected to begin with mostly sunny skies across the region. Temperatures on Sunday will range from the middle 60s in Atlanta to the upper 50s and middle 60s in surrounding areas, as humidity levels continue to drop throughout the day.

The National Weather Service has forecasted clear skies for most of Sunday with daytime highs reaching the middle 80s in Atlanta. However, areas in Northwest Georgia may experience cooler temperatures, potentially remaining in the 70s due to the earlier arrival of the cold front. Meanwhile, southern parts of North Georgia could see temperatures climb back into the upper 80s.

As the day progresses, an increase in cloud cover is anticipated, particularly during late Sunday, as moisture moves in from the Carolinas. This could bring the potential for showers in eastern Georgia on Sunday night, but for now, residents can expect a pleasant and warm early spring day.

Upcoming Weather Outlook

The weather outlook for the upcoming week shows mild mornings and warm afternoons to follow, with expectations of low humidity continuing. Highs for the week are projected to be in the low to mid-80s, while overnight lows will hover around 60 degrees. This weekend’s weather contrasts with the hazardous weather outlook issued earlier in the week for North and Central Georgia, where isolated to scattered thunderstorms were forecasted.

As thunderstorms developed on Saturday afternoon, a significant risk of severe weather was noted, particularly later in the day. The storms posed the possibility of damaging wind gusts, small hail, and frequent lightning. The rain from the storms could also have implications for outdoor events, including the Atlanta Braves game on Saturday night. In response to expected rain, the University of Georgia adjusted the kickoff time for its game against Austin Peay from 3:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. However, as of now, Georgia Tech has not reported any schedule changes for its games.

Sunday Sports Weather

Looking ahead to Sunday, the weather for the Atlanta Falcons game against Tampa Bay is anticipated to be substantially improved, with conditions forecasted to be much more favorable for spectators.
