After a mild, sunny day Friday and mostly clear skies forecast for Friday night, you can expect spring-like weather this weekend in the metro area.

Highs are forecast to hit 69 degrees Saturday and 71 Sunday, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Glenn Burns said.

“Go ahead and grill this weekend because the temperatures are going to be warm,” Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton said.

It’s expected to hit 65 degrees by noon Saturday and reach the high by 3 p.m. There is a 20 percent chance of rain Saturday and a 30 pecent chance Sunday.

“Saturday is probably your better grilling day than Sunday,” Minton said. “But don’t rule it out then, either.”

Temps were 56 degrees in Atlanta, 44 in Blairsville and 48 in Griffin after 8:45 p.m.

Temps will drop into the mid-to-upper 40s Friday night, Burns said.
