Keep your Memorial Day weekend plans flexible. Showers are expected across metro Atlanta through the first half of next week.
“We are tracking a fairly active weather pattern,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Ashley Kramlich said. “Each day of the weekend will bring in the chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms, (but) overall, a very low severe weather threat.”
You will likely have to dodge showers or thunderstorms if you have outdoor plans, so keep your rain gear on hand and have a few backup activities in mind.
From Saturday through Monday, meteorologists predict the region will see up to 4 inches of rain in areas north of the city and just under 2 inches to the south. There’s also a slight chance of gusty winds amid those thunderstorms, Kramlich said.
But, it shouldn’t be a complete washout the entire weekend.
If you took today off work to give yourself a four-day weekend, you are in luck. Today’s forecast is the best of the bunch, with an 80-degree high under mostly sunny skies and no rain. High temperatures should stay in that range through the weekend.
Saturday morning will bring more clouds, and pop-up showers will start to filter into the area through the afternoon. By that night, more widespread rain is expected around 8 p.m.
That rainfall should clear out before sunrise, but spotty showers and storms are expected to trickle through the metro area throughout Sunday.
More widespread rain and clouds are projected on Memorial Day, making for a dreary and wet holiday.
