Georgia Weather Forecast: What's In Store Easter Weekend?

ATLANTA, GA — The storms and showers that rolled through metro Atlanta Thursday night are gone. And there may be more in store early next week. But it looks like we'll be blessed with sunny, pleasant weather throughout Easter weekend.

Temperatures are forecast to get up into the 70s by the end of the weekend and there's not a drop of rain in the forecast between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Friday will be a little windy for folks hitting the highways for the holiday weekend, but that's the closest thing to bad weather news the National Weather Service has for us.

The nice weather should stick around for people traveling on Monday, too. It will be partly sunny then and the high will be all the way up to 77 degrees, according to the weather service.
