Sunday is looking to be a mirror image of Saturday, but just slightly warmer.
Overnight temperatures will dip into the low 70s,and it will quickly warm up by sunrise. By mid-morning, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon projects that it will be about 80 degrees.
We’ll reach a high of 94 degrees in the afternoon and the heat-index is expected to reach 95 degrees in metro Atlanta. The average high for this time of year is 89 degrees.
“Sunday afternoon, it is going to be a scorcher out there,” Deon said.
The humidity starts to build back up Sunday, but it will be more noticeable Monday. Deon said that due to the rising humidity, heat-indexes will also rise.
Showers will pass through the southern parts of the state on Sunday. A low chance of rain will stick around until at least Wednesday in the metro.
Near triple-digit heat will settle in by Tuesday. The high temperatures are expected to persist until the end of the week.
