Gwinnett weather: Dry early Monday, possible showers later

LEDE PHOTO - August 22, 2016 Gwinnett County: The cost to drive the 16-mile stretch of "HOT" express lanes on I-85 southbound in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties increased to a record $13.95 Monday, Aug. 22, 2016 according to the State Road and Tollway Authority. That is the maximum amount allowed by law. The previous record, set in November 2015, was $12. The State Road and Tollway Authority announced earlier this month that toll rates for several parts of I-85's HOT lanes would increase starting Monday. The change is aimed at reducing HOT lane congestion and providing "a more reliable and predictable commute for Peach Pass Customers," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported. The increase will remain in effect from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. each day. JOHN SPINK /JSPINK@AJC.COM

It’s going to be a cloudy Monday, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologists.

Gwinnett County residents woke to temperatures in the low 70s Monday morning. That will rise to 85 later today, Channel 2’s Karen Minton said.

Clouds will persist in metro Atlanta most of the day, with some rain possible later Monday evening.

Meteorologist Karen Minton has your Monday morning weather forecast.

Monday's early dry weather comes as drivers along the toll lanes along I-85 in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties could see increased costs.

State transportation officials have eliminated toll limits on Georgia express lanes earlier this month, the AJC previously reported.

The decision is part of a move to standardize toll rates across all express lanes.
