Saturday Forecast

Increasing clouds with rain likely after sunset. Temperatures will stay mild throughout the day and overnight. Sunshine returns Sunday morning.

There's some rain in the holiday weekend forecast as a storm approaches Georgia from the west, but it should not severely disrupt holiday weekend plans or travel.

There is no expectation of major weather impacts through Saturday afternoon. Clouds will increase late in the day. Fans in Athens for the Georgia-Georgia Tech football game can expect to stay dry for all four quarters.

Temperatures on Saturday should stay cool, maintaining in the high-50s for most of the day. In mid-afternoon temperatures in some areas could peak in the low-60s. 

Higher-impact rain and thunderstorms are expected to move in overnight and persist early Sunday morning. The severe weather risk is relatively low. Expect cloud cover to decrease Sunday as the day progresses.

On Sunday, the warming trend begins with high temperatures in the mid-60s. By Monday and Tuesday, highs could hit the mid-to-high 60s. 

For travelers, the best time to drive will be mid-Sunday morning, unless you're heading northeast and driving into the rain.
