How Hot Can GA Feel This Week? See Latest Forecast

ATLANTA, GA — Though summer does not official begin until June, weather officials are warning of hot temperatures ahead this week for Georgia.

As people make plans, they may want to prepare for temperatures in the 90s, which can come as early as Thursday.

The National Weather Service on Tuesday indicated humidity and summer-like temperatures are in store for Georgians the remainder of the week and into the weekend. Of course, this is in addition to the downpour determined to rain on Georgia's parade.

By late week, the NWS reported temperatures may reach about 5-10 degrees above normal.

Here's a breakdown of high temperatures this week:

• Atlanta: 90 degrees on Friday
• Decatur: 90 degrees on Friday
• Marietta: 90 degrees on Friday
• Dallas: 89 degrees on Friday
• Canton: 87 degrees on Thursday and Friday
• Lawrenceville: 90 degrees on Friday
• Cumming: 87 degrees on Friday
• Douglasville: 88 degrees on Friday
• Cartersville: 90 degrees on Friday

The high temperatures are forecast to last through at least Monday. So is the rainfall in north Georgia.

Metro Atlanta, and other areas such as Douglasville and Dallas, will be spared of any storms on Wednesday night through Friday, according to an updated forecast from NWS.

This is not the case for areas like Canton and Cumming, where Thursday and Friday afternoon are the only chances for no storms. Friday night could be the return of showers and thunderstorms after downpour on Wednesday.
