Better prepare for heat, metro Atlanta. Saturday’s temperature is expected to be near a record high.
The forecast high of 87 is just 1 degree lower than the record for this date, Channel 2 meteorologist Brian Monahan said. And the forecast is also well above the average high temperature of 76.
With the day off to a warm start, “we do not have far to go to get into the upper 80s,” Monahan said.
There’s a 20 percent chance of rain, but “for most of us, we’re just looking at lots of heat,” Monahan said.
Sunday also should be warm, with a projected high of 85.
About 4 p.m., the temps were at 85 in Atlanta, 88 in Griffin and 84 in Blairsville.
