Metro Atlantans will be under mostly cloudy skies Friday, and some could see a few drizzles ahead of a soggy weekend.
Expect a mild afternoon, with highs topping out in the mid to upper 60s, making it feel more like springtime. Some brief, isolated showers could pop up throughout the day, especially in areas north of I-20, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.
“But overall, just not much rain for your Friday,” he said. “The rain chance about 20% to 30% for the afternoon.”
More rain arrives Saturday, but most of it should stay to the north side of the metro and in the North Georgia mountains, Monahan said. No thunderstorms are expected.
Widespread rain is forecast to blanket the region Sunday and into Monday. A cold front is expected to move across the state Monday morning that will push in a line of storms, according to the National Weather Service. It’s possible that we could see an isolated strong or severe storm then, Monahan said. The highest chance will be south of I-20, where areas will be under a Level 2 of 5 risk for severe weather if this pattern continues.
By Monday evening, we could collect up to 2 inches of rain in the metro. Further north, some areas could see up to 4 inches, Monahan said.
As for temperatures, it’ll stay warm through the weekend with highs in the 60-degree range and lows in the upper 50s. Monday’s cold front will knock high temps back down into the 50s with lows in the 30s.
