North Georgia Prepares for Cooler, Breezy Weather with Daytime Highs Around 80 Degrees This Week

However, a small chance of rain is anticipated by Sunday.
Despite the presence of two tropical systems currently in the Atlantic, they are expected to remain largely offshore, exerting minimal impact on Georgia’s weather. Hurricane-strength storms are over open water, while Tropical Storm Imelda is being pulled away from the U.S. coast, allowing North Georgia to stay mostly dry, although the coastal areas may experience rip currents due to these systems.

A cold front is contributing to a mild end to August in Atlanta, with humidity levels being a factor in weather graphics provided by the NWS.
