Georgia residents will enjoy mild temperatures and partly sunny skies to kick off the week, but rain showers are expected to move in starting Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know to plan ahead.
Just the Facts:
• Today: Foggy conditions will clear by mid-morning, giving way to partly sunny skies that turn fully sunny by afternoon. High temperatures will reach 74°F, with calm winds shifting to the southwest at 5 mph.
• Tonight: Expect partly cloudy skies and a low around 54°F. Winds will stay calm, making for a mild evening.
• Tuesday: Showers are likely, mainly in the afternoon. The high will be near 68°F under mostly cloudy skies. South winds around 5 mph will accompany rainfall totals of up to half an inch.
• Tuesday Night: Rain continues, with a 70% chance of showers and a low near 60°F. Winds will be light from the southeast at 5 mph.
• Wednesday: The sun returns as skies turn partly sunny. Temperatures will climb to 74°F, with winds shifting from the south to northwest at 5–10 mph, gusting up to 20 mph.
In Context: Georgia has seen unseasonably mild weather, but the incoming rain could slow commutes and outdoor plans on Tuesday. Expect roads to be slick during peak rainfall hours. By Wednesday, sunny skies should return, providing a break in the wet conditions.
Why It Matters: The rain could impact travel and outdoor activities, especially Tuesday afternoon and evening. Residents should prepare for potential delays and carry an umbrella as rain showers move through the state.
