After a cold start to the day, Sunday evening should be relatively nice and warm, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Temperatures are expected to dip into the 40s overnight, though, setting the stage for gradual warming during the week, meteorologist Brian Monahan said.

Some parts of North Georgia could see strong wind gusts later in the day Sunday, Monahan said.

Monday and Tuesday should both be mostly sunny with a low chance of precipitation, Monahan said. Highs should be in the low 70s.

A cold front and storm system moves in Thursday, increasing our chances for rain.

Rain should move back into the area Thursday, mainly drizzle and mist.

Halloween, meanwhile, is expected to be pleasant, with a forecast high of 78 during the day, a low of 54 at night and no chance of rain.

With the Atlanta Falcons having a bye week and Atlanta United playing out of town, no sports-related traffic problems were expected in the downtown area Sunday.
