Georgia residents can expect a shift to true fall weather starting Thursday, with temperatures dropping to the mid-70s after a warm start to the week.
What It Means For You: You’ll need to adjust your wardrobe by midweek as temperatures cool significantly. Thursday and Friday will feel noticeably cooler with highs in the 70s and overnight lows dipping into the 50s.
What’s Happening: The National Weather Service in Peachtree City forecasts isolated afternoon showers and storms through Tuesday, primarily affecting northeast and east-central Georgia. The rest of the state will experience mostly dry conditions with breezy easterly winds throughout the week.
Between the Lines: The temperature shift will be dramatic, with early week highs reaching the low 80s before dropping nearly 10 degrees by Thursday. Overnight temperatures will fall from the mid-60s to the mid-50s, bringing the first real taste of fall weather.
The Big Picture: This weather pattern marks a transition to more seasonable autumn temperatures after what has been a warmer than average September for much of Georgia. The cooler, drier air mass moving in midweek signals the changing seasons.
