After an ice-filled week, the weekend looks to be filled with something very different: Sunshine.
“A nice weekend is on the way,” according to Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns with Channel 2 Action News.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for metro Atlanta until 5 p.m. Saturday, when temperatures will reach only the middle 40s.
“It’s going to feel like a mid-January day,” Burns said.
But Sunday should be much warmer, with afternoon highs near 60 degrees, thanks to more sunshine. The weekend weather comes as a sigh of relief to the thousands of people left in the dark during the week due to power outages.
Days after the winter storm brought Atlanta and north Georgia to a halt, the roads have mostly thawed and things are mostly back on track. Some isolated roadways, such as Ronald Reagan Parkway in Gwinnett County, remained closed late Friday. The annual “Run the Reagan” race will take place Saturday, as scheduled.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus will have three shows on Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. at Philips Arena. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will be held at the Fox Theatre at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
