Thursday midday weather forecast

Thursday afternoon will be sunny and dry across metro Atlanta, with temperatures rising into the upper 70s, the warmest day of the workweek. A cooldown is expected this weekend, with some areas potentially dipping into the 30s. Dry air is also raising fire danger, so outdoor burning should be kept to a minimum. The forecast also tracks Subtropical Storm Josephine, which is moving northeast over the Atlantic and is expected to bring wind and rain to parts of New England without making landfall.
