Atlanta weather | First day of fall brings sunshine
Sunday marks the first day of fall, and the rain that drenched Music Midtown at Piedmont Park on Saturday is history.
Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said the weekend rain has moved south, and Sunday will see sunshine and temperatures in the high 70s.
Fall officially begins at 4:44 p.m. Sunday.
The music festival traffic snarls are over, but weekend construction work continues.
Construction crews will be placing beams on the I-85 and Ga. 400 Interchange project this weekend, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The project will close two lanes on I-85 northbound from Piedmont Road to Ga. 400 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
There also will be work associated with the project on Sidney Marcus Boulevard, Cheshire Bridge Road, Lenox Road and Buford Highway.
Construction crews also will be closing single lanes on I-285, I-75 and I-20 to conduct drain cleaning and shoulder sweeping.
