The first day of is set to be warm, sunny with clear skies all day so get out and smell the blooming flowers.

Sunday morning starts in the low 40s but will rise to the high 60s by the evening, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon.

“We will moderate our temperatures on Sunday with sunshine returning,” she said.

Next couple of days will be warmer, reaching low- to mid-70s as clouds move back in. There’s little chance of showers until thunderstorms reign on Wednesday, according to Deon’s five-day outlook.

“We have lower to mid-70s on the way Monday and Tuesday. Rain and storms arrive by the middle of next week,” Deon said.

The warm weather won’t stop construction. Weekend road closures continue along Powder Springs Road between Windy Hill and Sandtown roads in Cobb County for a resurfacing project, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Drivers in Marietta should also expect overnight delays on Terrell Mill Road at I-75 this weekend. Lane closures there will help facilitate a DOT project to rehabilitate an overpass. An alternating lane of eastbound and westbound traffic will be closed on Terrell Mill at the overpass from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
