Atlanta, Georgia, is in for a stretch of typical early September weather, with sunny skies and warm afternoons, though commuters should be prepared for gusty winds on Tuesday morning. As drivers head out on I-75 and I-285, wind gusts could reach up to 20 mph, raising concerns for high-profile vehicles and those on the road during peak rush hour. Extra caution will be necessary as the breezy conditions may make driving a bit more challenging, especially for those traveling in the early hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, skies will clear on Tuesday, and while the winds will persist into midday, the day will warm up to a high of around 81 degrees. The east winds, sustained at 10 mph with gusts, will continue to make their presence known, but full sunshine will brighten up the region by the afternoon, ensuring a pleasant day overall despite the breeziness.
The rest of the week promises to bring a classic taste of September fall weather. By Wednesday, the winds will calm, and sunshine will dominate the skies, pushing afternoon highs into the mid-80s. Thursday and Friday will see even warmer temperatures, climbing toward the upper 80s, but the overall weather pattern will remain dry and pleasant. Nights will stay comfortable, with lows ranging between 60 and 65 degrees, offering perfect conditions for evening events or outdoor activities.
For those planning to be out and about in the metro area, the biggest concern will be the gusty winds Tuesday morning, which could impact travel. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items and allow extra travel time during peak rush hour, especially if heading out on highways. The clear skies and low humidity will provide excellent visibility and ideal conditions for those traveling later in the week.
As the week progresses, the weather will remain sunny with comfortable nights. The mornings will carry a hint of fall, especially in suburban areas, where temperatures will dip to cooler lows. The transition from summer to fall will be marked by crisp mornings and warm afternoons—typical for early September in Atlanta.
There are no major weather warnings expected beyond Tuesday, but residents are advised to stay updated in case any sudden changes occur.
