SUNDAY’S WEATHER-TRAFFIC: Easter temps reach the 70s
After a wet Saturday and chilly Sunday morning, warm temperatures and sunshine have finally returned just in time for Easter egg hunts.
Right now, it is 70 degrees and sunny in Atlanta. Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said it’ll stay that way for the rest of the afternoon.

“For Easter Sunday we’ll have lots of sunshine, a shift in our wind direction and temperatures are going to warm up nicely,” Deon said.
Allergy sufferers will have little to worry about while they’re outside this afternoon, as the pollen count is in the “medium range.” Sunday’s count is 25, with trees being the top pollen contributors.

Traffic shouldn’t be bad for the Easter commute. There are no major trouble spots or hangups, according to WSB 24-Hour Traffic Center.
The only thing better than the beautiful weather is your ride on the Downtown Connector. The WSB Jam Cam is showing speed limit rides in both directions. https://t.co/YULjFukFkK #ATLTraffic pic.twitter.com/LHubZPvzcL
