dailyloe.com – Atlanta faces one more hot day Saturday before a cold front arrives Sunday, bringing milder weather. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s in the metro area Saturday. Some central Georgia spots may near 90 degrees under mostly sunny skies. The day will be beautiful but hot.
Elevated fire danger remains a concern for Saturday due to specific conditions. Warm temperatures, low humidity, and dry vegetation create a risk. These conditions are ripe for fire spread if any ignitions occur. Residents should remain cautious.
A cold front will change the weather pattern late Saturday night. It moves through into Sunday morning, bringing a chance of showers. These showers will be mostly for the far northwestern parts of Georgia. Any shower activity will wrap up by late morning.
Most of Sunday will be dry following the front’s passage. Afternoon and evening outdoor activities can be planned with little weather concern. Highs on Sunday will only reach the upper 60s and lower 70s. This is a significant cooldown from Saturday’s heat.
Rainfall amounts from this system will be minimal. Expect around a tenth of an inch or less. This moisture will not make a dent in ongoing dry conditions. The area certainly could use more rain.
High pressure builds back in on Monday to start the work week. It will bring dry conditions and near-normal temperatures. Temperatures will gradually warm through the subsequent days. Highs are forecast to climb back into the mid to upper 80s by Thursday.
