Metro Atlanta residents will get a break from the rain this weekend, but it won’t be completely sunny.
Saturday is off to a cloudy start, and a dense fog advisory is in effect for most North Georgia counties until 10 a.m., Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said.

“As we go throughout the day, we’re expecting to see those clouds breaking up some,” she said.
The temperature in Atlanta should reach 73 degrees by noon and today’s high will top out at 79, according to the latest forecast. The chance of rain increases on Sunday, but the afternoon showers aren’t expected to be very widespread, Deon said. Rain returns on Monday and is expected to linger through midweek, however.
