Memorial Day forecast: Afternoon rain possible

Memorial Day should be sunny in metro Atlanta — at least until mid-afternoon.

Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Katie Walls said Monday should be mostly “dry through the first half,” with isolated showers developing around the metro by 3 p.m. Rain and possible thunderstorms are “really expected to be ramping up after 5 o’clock,” she said.

Walls’ forecast called for a high of 80 degrees Monday with a 60 percent chance of rain.
