Atlanta is in for a rainy Tuesday — high near 75°F and an 80% chance of thunderstorms, so grab a compact travel umbrella before you leave the house and plan your outdoor window carefully.
Today’s Setup
The National Weather Service says tropical moisture is streaming northward across Georgia this morning, with light showers already filling in across north and central Atlanta. Coverage increases through the afternoon — expect the heaviest activity during the midday and PM hours. A few embedded rumbles of thunder are possible, but no severe weather is expected. Highs stay in the mid-70s, which is unusually cool for mid-June, but the clouds and steady rain will keep temperatures from budging much.
Best Window To Be Outside
Your cleanest window is before 9 AM ET. After that, showers spread steadily and coverage peaks in the afternoon. Tonight stays unsettled, with a 60% storm chance lingering through around 9 PM ET before conditions slowly ease. Low near 66°F. If you were planning the BeltLine or a walk through Piedmont Park, hold off — Wednesday is a much better day.
Events & Games: What To Know
Braves vs. Giants at Truist Park (Tonight): With an 80% storm chance, Cumberland is going to be wet. Check for delay announcements before heading out, and definitely bring a packable rain jacket. You can still show out in an Atlanta Braves jersey or Atlanta Braves fitted cap — and if you still need seats, Get tickets on SeatGeek.
5 Seconds of Summer EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour at State Farm Arena (Tonight): Fully indoors — zero weather concerns once you’re inside. Grab a 5 Seconds of Summer t-shirt and Find tickets on StubHub if you haven’t locked them down yet.
Josh Groban with special guest Jennifer Hudson at Gas South Arena (Wednesday): Indoor venue, and Wednesday looks considerably drier — enjoy it without a second thought.
TOBYMAC at Atrium Health Amphitheater (Wednesday): This outdoor show carries a 40% storm chance Wednesday afternoon. Watch the timing closely before you head out.
Rain Risk
The Weather Prediction Center’s excessive rainfall concern today is focused on the Texas Gulf Coast through the Lower Mississippi Valley — not Atlanta. Still, watch for standing water near Peachtree Creek and ponding in low-lying underpasses around Midtown and downtown. Drive cautiously through any flooded roadways.
Rainy Day Dinner
A gray, stormy Tuesday is slow-cooker-chili weather, full stop. Load up a programmable slow cooker before you leave for work and come home to something warm, or go stovetop with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven and a hearty beef stew. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Wednesday rebounds nicely — near 85°F, mostly sunny, with just a 40% afternoon storm chance and southwest winds gusting to around 20 mph. A solid day to get back outside. But Thursday and Friday, the National Weather Service is flagging increased tropical moisture tied to a disturbance over southern Texas, bringing periods of heavier rainfall across the region. That’s worth watching ahead of the Braves-Giants series finale Thursday at Truist Park and the World Cup: Match 25 Group A — South Africa vs. Czechia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on June 18. Keep tabs on the Atlanta weather forecast as that system approaches.
