We’ll be warm for the first half of the weekend before temperatures drop due to a cold front.

The cold front began moving through North Georgia on Friday evening and brought some isolated showers along with it, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist Brad Nitz said. That front will move south of I-20 and past metro Atlanta overnight, but temperatures on Saturday will still be warm.

Morning lows will be in the 60s and the day will start off cloudy, Nitz said. Little if any rain is expected during the day on Saturday, but some showers will impact parts of South Georgia during the afternoon hours.

Metro Atlanta will be just shy of 80 degrees and skies will be mostly cloudy.

A significant drop in temperatures will occur Sunday morning, when a low of 54 degrees is expected. Afternoon temperatures will hover in the 50s and top off at 59 degrees.

“It’s going to be much cooler behind this front,” Nitz said.

Some showers could hit the city overnight and in the morning, but widespread showers will move from west to east by noon and continue until about 5 p.m. Sunday

We’ll see a high of 65 degrees on Monday and then we’re back in the 70s by Tuesday. It’s expected to remain dry throughout the week.
