Georgia Weather: Will The Sun Stay Out This Weekend?

ATLANTA, GA — A week ago, we were all bracing for Hurricane Irma to roll through the state. This weekend, metro Atlanta has some much sunnier days in the forecast.

The forecast for this weekend calls for clear skies just about all the way through, with temperatures in the mid-80s to remind us that summer is technically not over yet. (The first day of fall is Sept. 22).

There will be a 20 percent chance of some rain Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening. Other than that though, we're looking at sunny skies. So, if you're still feeling a little stir crazy after Irma, get out there and enjoy the weather. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.
