Georgia Weather Forecast: Sunny, Highs In The 70s

ATLANTA, GA — You can leave your umbrellas at home as you head to work this week. And, while you may not need to pull out the cable-knit sweaters just yet, a long-sleeve shirt might be in order, at least.

High temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 70s for the first part of the week, then barely start sneaking into the low 80s as we get closer to next weekend. And there's not a drop of rain in the forecast until next weekend (and note even much of one then).

Welcome to October, folks.
