Georgia Weather Forecast: When Will It Rain This Weekend?

ATLANTA, GA — The past few days have shown us that, yes, it really is fall in metro Atlanta.

Things are going to warm back up just a little bit this weekend but, with highs in the 70s, it'll still be nice weather for you to get out and enjoy the fall festivals, pumpkin patches and other autumnal events going on throughout the region.

Except, maybe on Sunday.

While Friday night and Saturday are forecast to be clear, we could be looking at some rain by Sunday afternoon. Forecasters say showers and thunderstorms could start around 2 p.m. Sunday and soak the area again Sunday night. (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.
