Georgia is looking at mostly cloudy skies with some isolated showers possible this weekend. Temperatures will feel mild, with highs reaching the upper 70s today and dipping slightly to the mid-70s on Sunday. Overnight lows are expected to stay in the mid-60s, keeping things comfortable but overcast.
Why It Matters: Fall in Georgia means shifting temperatures and unexpected weather swings, especially with tropical systems still at play in the Atlantic. Veterans Day will bring a much-anticipated clearing, ideal for holiday plans, but expect temperatures to stay unseasonably warm.
Veterans Day Preview: Veterans Day will see a change in the forecast as a weather front finally moves through the state. This will bring dry, sunny conditions back into the picture, with highs near 80° for the holiday, followed by a gradual cool-down through the week. By Friday, highs will settle into the mid-70s, and overnight lows will step down from the low 60s on Monday and Tuesday to the 50s by midweek, possibly even reaching the 40s by Friday.
Tracking Tropical Storm Rafael: Tropical Storm Rafael, now downgraded, currently has sustained winds of 65 mph. Forecasters expect Rafael to continue moving west over the next 24 hours before making a turn southward on Monday, where it will likely weaken further, eventually becoming a low-pressure system. Rafael poses no immediate threat to Georgia, but its influence on the weather pattern could still be felt in the region.
