Monday midday weather forecast

Monday brings sunshine and mild weather to metro Atlanta, with highs near 72 and temperatures dropping into the upper 40s overnight. The forecast warms into the mid- to upper 70s by midweek, while North Georgia’s mountain communities approach peak fall color. Showers and storms could return for Halloween weekend, though early trick-or-treaters may stay dry. Rain chances increase Sunday, with 1 to 1.5 inches possible in parts of northern Georgia. Remember to turn clocks back one hour Saturday night as daylight saving time ends.
