Expect some clouds, wind and scattered rain Sunday as Florence, now classified as a tropical depression, moves closer to Georgia.

Metro Atlanta could get about a half-inch of rain, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Katie Walls said.

She said “scattered downpours” are possible but she’s not expecting severe storms.

The most noticeable effect will be cooler temps, with Sunday’s high predicted at 83.

Metro Atlantans could notice stronger winds from Florence, with gusts of up to 45 mph possible.

“It will be breezy at times,” Walls said.

However, a wind advisory for Rabun and Habersham counties by the National Weather Service has been canceled.

In metro Atlanta, Music Midtown attendees should enjoy the cooler temperatures, but they should also keep an eye out for approaching showers. But it should still be a mostly dry day in Piedmont Park.

The Braves also host the Washington Nationals at 1:35 p.m. Sunday in SunTrust Park, and fans will likely appreciate the lower temperatures as well. Cobb County traffic will likely pick up around first pitch.
