It’s comfortable in Atlanta now, but expect temperatures to again hit the 40s, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Atlanta reached the expected high of 60 degrees by 4 p.m. Tuesday, Channel 2 reported.

The average high for this time of year is 64. Temps are expected to fall short of that again Wednesday when the projected high is 61.

Warm weather isn’t the only thing that could return. There is a 40 percent chance of rain Saturday in metro Atlanta, according to Channel 2.
