Atlanta is treating us to one of the nicest days of the summer so far — mostly sunny skies with a high near 86°F and humidity so low it barely feels like June. The National Weather Service notes dewpoints sitting in the low to mid 60s, meaning the “feels like” temperature will nearly match the actual air temperature. Enjoy every bit of this one.
Today’s Setup
A very dry airmass has parked itself over North and Central Georgia, dropping precipitation odds to essentially zero through tonight. Light east winds at 0–5 mph round out a nearly perfect summer afternoon. The overnight low dips to a comfortable 69°F with partly cloudy skies — windows-open weather. Check the Atlanta weather forecast for hourly updates as the week progresses.
Best Window to Be Outside
All of it. Head to Piedmont Park, walk the BeltLine, tee it up, or fire up the backyard grill — there’s no afternoon storm threat to work around today. For patio evenings, a citronella candle set keeps things pleasant after dark. And if you want to float the afternoon away, the 2-Person Intex Floating Lounge with Cooler is just $24 on Amazon right now — hard to beat for a day like this.
Events This Week
Today at Mercedes-Benz Stadium: World Cup Group C — Haiti vs. Morocco (June 24). It’s indoors, so weather is a non-issue. Rep the tournament with your Official team gear on Fanatics.
Thursday, June 25: Hilary Duff plays Ameris Bank Amphitheatre under an 89°F sky that’s still comfortable thanks to low humidity — one of the better outdoor show evenings you’ll find in late June Atlanta. Also Thursday: Alex Warren brings his Finding Family on the Road tour to State Farm Arena. Grab an Alex Warren t-shirt and Find tickets on StubHub before they’re gone.
Friday, June 26: Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour arrives at State Farm Arena. The show is indoors, but if you’re grabbing dinner in Centennial Olympic Park beforehand, note that a slight storm chance emerges after 2 PM ET Friday. A Shakira hat or Shakira t-shirt is the move. Get tickets on SeatGeek while seats last.
Rain, Wind, and Heat Risk Ahead
Friday is where the pattern shifts. The National Weather Service flags a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 PM ET, tied to a mid-level shortwave tracking through the region. Coverage will be scattered, not a washout — but keep an eye on radar for any outdoor plans that afternoon. Then into the weekend, southerly flow pumps heat and humidity back in hard. Triple-digit heat index values are expected across the area this weekend and into next week. A portable misting fan will earn its keep fast if you’re doing anything outside Saturday onward.
Next Few Days
- Thursday: High near 89°F, mostly sunny — still very pleasant
- Friday: High near 91°F, slight storm chance after 2 PM ET
- Weekend+: Heat index topping 100°F — plan outdoor activities for early morning hours
Dinner Tonight
With weather this easy, keep dinner just as simple. A light pasta or quick stir-fry with the back door open is perfect for tonight’s 69°F low. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything at your door well before dinner.
