Metro Atlanta Weather: Fall air moving into North Georgia this week

Monday morning weather forecast

Daytime highs this week will hover near 80 degrees before dipping slightly.

ATLANTA - North Georgia is in for a taste of fall as breezy conditions usher in drier, cooler air later this week.

According to FOX 5 Atlanta Storm Team meteorologist Joanne Feldman, two tropical systems in the Atlantic are staying offshore and will have little direct impact on Georgia’s weather. 

Hurricane-strength storms remain over open water, while Tropical Storm Imelda is being pulled away from the U.S. coast. At most, the systems could bring rip currents to the Georgia coast, but North Georgia will remain mostly dry.

Daytime highs this week will hover near 80 degrees before dipping slightly. By Friday and Saturday, morning lows are expected to fall into the 50s, making for a crisp start to October.
