SUNDAY’S WEATHER: Warming pattern bringing ‘summerlike’ temps, rain

A warming trend is bringing back the humidity and rain.

Morning temperatures Sunday will be mild around the mid to high 60s, and we will reach just above average in the afternoon at 82 degrees. Even warmer temperatures are in store this coming week.

“We will all feel that warmth building in on Sunday,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said.

Sunday morning will remain dry, but by around noon, we should expect our first showers. Isolated showers will pop up through the afternoon and then heavier rain and storms will build in through the overnight hours.

Even with the soggy conditions, Deon said it will not be a washout.

Warmer air moving into the south-central and southern part of the country is bringing more humidity.

“Not only are we going to have even warmer air moving in, but our humidity levels are going to rise,” according to Deon.

Rain continues through at least half of the week, with parts of metro Atlanta getting up to 2 inches of rainfall by Wednesday evening.

Temperatures will continue rising throughout the week. We’ll reach up to 87 degrees Wednesday, which is the average temperature in mid-June.

“It’s going to feel very summerlike,” Deon said.
