Rainy morning in some spots; seasonably warm afternoon in store
After an especially warm Sunday in metro Atlanta, temperatures are returning to more seasonable levels on Monday.
To kick off the day, a few isolated rain showers are falling ahead of sunrise. They’re what’s left of some storms that blew through the area overnight.
“Not everyone will be dealing with it, but a lot of you will have some damp conditions heading out the door this morning,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said.
Showers should clear out by the afternoon and make way for a partly cloudy afternoon, with the high today climbing into the mid 80s.
“(That) is about where we should be for this time of year,” Deon said, “definitely a lot cooler than our Sunday, though. Sunday, we made it all the way up to a high of 93 degrees, the hottest weather we’ve seen so far (this year) in Atlanta.”
Temps stay in the mid 80s on Tuesday, but 90-degree highs return on Wednesday through the end of the week.
No rain is in the forecast at least through the second half of the week. There is a 10% chance of showers on Thursday, which increases to 20% on Friday. So far, the weekend is looking steamy with highs in the low to mid 90s with a 20% chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday.
