The cool, dry weather is expected to stick around into Sunday before the rain and humidity returns.
After a dry front that moved into North Georgia late Friday night continued to move south, metro Atlanta was left with drier air this weekend as the rain settles near the Florida-Georgia state line.
“A cooler start to our Sunday morning. By the time we head into Sunday afternoon, we’re warming it up to about 87 degrees,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said.
Sunday morning will start off in the low to mid-70s and will reach a high of 87 degrees by 4 p.m. Partly cloudy skies with a soft breeze will make for a wonderful day to enjoy the outdoors before the expected isolated thunderstorms Monday.
But aside from the perfect weather, this weekend is extra special in Atlanta: the BeREGGAE Music & Arts Festival continues Sunday in Piedmont Park. The free, family-friendly event opens back up at 12:30 p.m. and includes musical performances and activities for children.
Latin jazz musician Tito Puente Jr. is scheduled to take the stage at 6:30 p.m., Atlanta native CeeLo Green has an 8 p.m. set time and reggae artist Wayne Wonder will end the festival with a 9 p.m. set.
Moving into next week, temperatures aren’t expected to increase too much, but the humidity is coming back with rain projected for much of the week ahead. The week starts with a 30% chance of rain and by Wednesday we’re seeing a 60% chance of rain and scattered thunderstorms.
