Sunny skies led to a record-high temperature in metro Atlanta on Tuesday. The city reached 80 degrees, topping the previous high of 79 set two years ago.
The average high for this time of year is only 62 degrees.
“Temperatures are going to feel like April or even May this afternoon across North Georgia,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said earlier Tuesday.
No rain was in the forecast for Tuesday, but that changes by Wednesday afternoon and evening as a cold front starts pushing some showers into the area that should arrive by nightfall.
Thursday and Friday will bring more storms, including possible severe weather Friday morning, Monahan said.
The rain will clear by the time the weekend arrives, making for a mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday, though high temperatures will dip back into the 60s.
