Showers will stay out of Atlanta through Tuesday.
But the wet weather could return later this week, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Weekend weather is looking outstanding across north GA -- but in between, rain increases again later this week and we have a chance of storms.

Watch @GlennBurnsWSB at 6 for the updated timing of the storm chance later this week!
Currently, the temperature is 54 degrees in Atlanta. The high was 66.
“Tomorrow looks pretty nice,” Channel 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz said, “but a big drop in temperatures compared to where we’ve been recently.”
Rain could return Wednesday, when there is a 60 percent chance. And thunderstorms could arrive Thursday, which “will be wet for the morning commute and much of the day,” Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton said.
Thursday will be wet for the morning commute and much of the day. A chance of thunderstorms with a few turning strong. Main hazards will be gusty winds, lightning and heavy rain. Friday and the entire weekend looks dry and sunny. pic.twitter.com/NQjzZWCAYv

The “main hazards will be gusty winds, lightning and heavy rain,” Minton said.
The extra rain could send cumulative rain totals for the week up to 3 inches.
Rain has ended for today, but more returns Wednesday - Thursday. Cumulative rainfall totals around 1-3" across our area this week.
