A mostly dry but humid and hot Saturday is coming to metro Atlanta.
The morning will start off warm at 72 degrees by sunrise around 6:30 a.m. Some clouds will be milling about, but Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Brad Nitz said there will be mostly sunshine as temperatures climb into the 90s.
Metro Atlanta is expecting a high of 95 degrees and partly cloudy skies. A slight chance of rain will persist in the city, but showers will primarily stick to areas off the coast and in southern Georgia, Nitz said.
Sunday will be even warmer as the high climbs to 96 degrees.
Humidity will start to gradually increase over the next few days. The higher humidity combined with temperatures in the 90s could trigger some storms during the heat of the day, Nitz explained.
Rain returns Monday, when there is a 30% chance. Highs will remain in the 90s for the rest of the week, with Tuesday being the warmest day.
“Look at Tuesday’s high. That will be the hottest,” Nitz said.
