By Steve Burns
June 18, 2016A day after storms knocked down trees in some parts of Atlanta, calmer weather was in store Saturday afternoon.
The chance of rain is “pretty slim” for the afternoon, Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said. A high temperature is forecast at 83.
Friday’s high reached 95 degrees, but the temperature fell to about 74 about 6:30 p.m. after the storms, Channel 2 reported.
Saturday’s cooling will continue into Sunday morning, Nitz said. Temperatures will start in the 60s with a high in the 80s.
And technically, Monday is the first official day of summer. It will bring plenty of sunshine with a high around 87.
