Atlanta residents can expect a mild start to the week before a weather system arrives Wednesday. Temperatures today will reach the low 70s under partly cloudy skies. Forecasters suggest a light jacket is appropriate for early morning or late evening outings.
Conditions will remain comfortable for voters on Election Day. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and highs will stay in the 70s. The probability of an isolated shower stands at 20 percent. Most trips to the polls should remain dry.
The forecast shifts on Wednesday as scattered showers and storms move through North Georgia. Activity is expected to increase in coverage during the afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service has designated this a First Alert Weather Day for rain and storms.
Heavy rain is possible in some locations. Thunderstorms will produce lightning, prompting officials to recommend staying indoors during active periods. Localized street flooding may occur, particularly in areas with known drainage issues. Some neighborhoods will see more activity than others.
The storms are scattered rather than widespread. This means precipitation intensity will vary by location. The entire region requires weather awareness on Wednesday. Residents should monitor local updates as the system approaches.
