There should be a change in the weather pattern Saturday in metro Atlanta. But that also means what amounts to a cool snap.
“We’re going to break away from that cool, drizzly, showery weather pattern we’ve had for the last couple of days,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.
The temp, however, should stay in the 50s. At noon, the reading should be 55 on the way to a high of 59, according to Channel 2.
That’s well below the average of 70 for this date. But the early clouds should give way in the afternoon.
“Gradually,” Monahan said, “we’ll start to see more sunshine build in.”
