Atlanta, GA – Get ready, because Atlanta’s weather is about to throw you some surprises! Here’s everything you need to know to stay safe and prepared:
Today (Friday, February 28)
Expect a mostly sunny day, with temperatures climbing to a warm 64°F (18°C). It’s perfect for some outdoor activities – but don’t get too comfortable. While the sky looks clear, there’s an elevated fire risk due to dry conditions. That means extra caution is needed if you’re dealing with anything flammable. If you’re outdoors, remember to dispose of cigarette butts properly and avoid open flames. As night falls, temperatures will drop to around 44°F (6°C), so don’t forget that jacket!

As evening rolls in, expect the chill to settle in with temperatures dipping to 35°F (1°C). -
Sunday, March 2:
A much cooler day is on the way. We’re talking highs around 54°F (12°C) despite the sunshine. And with the temperatures dropping to 34°F (1°C) overnight, it’ll be a cold start to March, so make sure you layer up!
What’s Coming Next
Monday to Wednesday (March 3-5):
