Afternoon showers are returning to metro Atlanta this weekend.

Saturday morning will start off dry and cloudy, with a low of 73 degrees. Temperatures will be below the mid-80s until the afternoon, making it a comfortable opportunity to get outdoors in the morning, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

“No threat for rain first part of the day on Saturday,” Nitz said.

Showers will develop as temperatures in Atlanta heat up into the mid-90s in the afternoon. Scattered storms will be concentrated in North Georgia, according to Nitz. Rain is expected in Atlanta between 2 and 10 p.m.

Much like Saturday, Sunday will begin with dry conditions, and then scattered storms will develop in the afternoon. Rain is expected in Atlanta between 1 and 8 p.m.

A cold front will move south into Georgia on Monday, bringing additional rain. Showers will remain scattered and mostly affect the eastern parts of the state, Nitz said.

“This front could usher in some dramatic changes to our weather,” Nitz stated.

The front will bring cooler temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs will be in the low 80s and high 70s.
