Georgia Weather Forecast: Sunny Week, While Watching the Tropics

ATLANTA, GA — The week will see temperatures a bit higher than normal under sunny skies, but all eyes are going to be on Hurricane Matthew and the storm's eventual trek near the U.S.

The path for this storm is still unclear and it may stay far enough off the coast to avoid any impacts as it heads north next weekend and into the next week.

Until then, temperatures will be in the low 80s in Georgia. The week will begin with a few windy days — with gusts as high as 15 mph on Tuesday.

Low cloud cover will be possible each morning as we get farther into the week, according to forecasters, but days will be sunny with high temperatures lingering around 82 degrees.

Storm watchers say there is a low chance that Hurricane Matthew will impact the local area, but residents across the Southeast will have to continue to monitor the storm.

Hurricane Matthew will move across the Bahamas in the middle of the week. Even if Matthew doesn't hit U.S. shores, wind and rain may be more prominent in the weekend forecast for coastal Georgia.

Here's the latest forecast, according to the National Weather Service:

Monday: Sunny, with a high near 83. North wind around 5 mph becoming east in the afternoon.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. East wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph.

Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 82.

Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 81.

Friday: Sunny, with a high near 82.

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 82.
