A soggy weekend is projected before sunshine returns and temperatures drop.
Rain will begin well before sunrise Saturday and continue into daybreak. Widespread showers across metro Atlanta will happen around 7 a.m., before becoming primarily scattered throughout the rest of the day, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Brad Nitz said.
“It will rain this weekend — both Saturday and Sunday — but not continuously,” according to Nitz.
Mild temperatures are expected in the afternoon, with a high of 67 degrees.
The evening hours will only see more rain and a few potential thunderstorms.
A line of showers will enter North Georgia early Sunday morning ahead of a cold front, bringing widespread and heavy rainfall, Nitz said. Winds of about 10 mph are also projected in the morning, and windy conditions will strengthen by the afternoon.
Metro Atlanta will start to dry out by Sunday evening.
Cooler temperatures are coming Monday, when a high of 48 degrees is expected. Tuesday and Wednesday will also be chilly, with highs in the low to mid-50s.
