SATURDAY’S WEATHER | Rainy morning, strong winds in the afternoon

After the rain comes to a halt Saturday morning, the day will be mostly cloudy and windy.

Light to moderate showers will continue overnight and begin to taper off around 7 a.m. as temperatures hit a low of 54 degrees, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said. Rain will completely move out of North Georgia by around noon.

“The clouds are going to hold tough, but things will improve as the day goes on,” Monahan said.

After showers stop, breezy conditions will begin to build. Gusts could reach up to about 25 to 35 mph, according to Monahan.

The last few hours of the day before the sun sets will clear up and Atlanta may see some sunshine peeking through. A high of 66 degrees is anticipated.

The late evening will be mostly clear and the wind will slow down overnight, making way for a sunny and calm Sunday. Temperatures will drop and Atlantans will wake up to a chilly morning in the low 40s. The average low for this time of year is 47 degrees.

Afternoon temperatures will climb into the upper 60s, increasing above Saturday’s high.

Monahan said Sunday and Monday are expected to be dry and the next possibility of rain comes Tuesday.
