First week of New Year looks relatively pleasant, but rain returns Thursday

Sunday evening forecast

Besides a weak upper wave increasing clouds a bit Monday night, expect a tranquil stretch of weather through midweek. Our next system arrives late Thursday-early Friday bringing the next chance for showers.

ATLANTA - The first week of the New Year will start out a little fog, but things will get sunnier from there.

Monday, expect some patchy fog earlier in the day, but that will burn off to reveal a sunny day with temperatures just a little above normal.

The highs should be in the mid-50s, the lows will dip to the mid to lower 30s.

That trend should last through the runoff election on Tuesday and into Wednesday.

The clouds roll in on Wednesday night and Thursday a front will move through that could produce some severe weather, but the threat is extremely low as of Sunday evening.
