Mother's Day metro Atlanta weather outlook

Mother's Day weekend forecast

Showers are expected to continue through the weekend. Here's how that could impact your Mother's Day plans in metro Atlanta.

ATLANTA - As Mother's Day weekend unfolds, residents across Georgia can expect a mix of scattered showers and cooler temperatures, with weather conditions evolving throughout the week.

Mother's Day weekend forecast

We'll see scattered showers Saturday night into Sunday, particularly south of the Atlanta area.

If you have pre-Mother's Day plans downtown, bring an umbrella. FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Laurann Robinson is expecting cloud cover and rain, with temperatures around 58 degrees.

Breezy conditions with winds from the east at 21 mph will make it feel even cooler.

If you're going out closer to north-central, northwestern, and northeastern Georgia, near the South Carolina state line, showers will be hit-or-miss.

While heavy downpours, lightning, and thunder are anticipated, severe weather is not expected due to the cooler temperatures.

On Sunday morning, we'll likely see isolated, spotty showers, with the potential for pop-up storms. More widespread showers are predicted to move in from the south by late afternoon, around 4 to 5 p.m. Unless mom has a special relationship with Mother Nature, it'll probably be best to keep all her plans indoors by mid-afternoon.

Mid-May 2025 weather outlook

Monday brings a higher chance of stronger storms, starting early in the day. A line of storms is expected to develop around metro Atlanta and move northward, with scattered showers and storms persisting throughout Monday and into the evening.

The risk of severe weather increases then, with most of Georgia facing a level one out of five threat. Residents should prepare for gusty winds, heavy downpours potentially causing localized flooding, frequent lightning, thunder, and possibly small hail.

Over the next few days, we could see several inches of rain, with storm chances extending into Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.

By Wednesday, temperatures are expected to rise back into the 80s, with isolated storm chances.
