Georgia Weather Forecast: A Warm And Rainy Week

ATLANTA, GA — Remember when it was cold in Georgia for a couple of days? Well, in this topsy-turvy season, we're back to warmer climes in metro Atlanta this week, with a good chance of rain to go with it.

The highs on Monday and Tuesday are predicted to get into the upper 70s, with lows each night in the 60s. It will cool off a little as the week goes on, but we're still looking at highs of 60 and up all the way through Friday.

Skies should be clear on Monday. But, after that, things could get a bit soggy this week. A 30 percent chance of rain on Tuesday will jump up to a 70 percent chance on Wednesday and a 60 percent chance on Thursday.
