Ahh, the beautiful weather: sunny, warm and dry.

Hope you got your fill, because the National Weather Service says it's all over for the respite from the wet and cold weather that has characterized this winter.

Forecasters say  Sunday's glorious conditions -- sunny and 67 degrees -- will be followed by a cooling trend -- and wet weather.

Monday morning's commute likely will be messy. The odds are 80 percent that Atlanta will get as much as a half of an inch of rain after 1 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.

The high temperatures will drop steadily all week, from a high around 60 degrees on Monday to a high in the mid-40s by Thursday. The lows could drop into the 20s by Wednesday night.

Forecasters also see a 20 percent chance of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.
