Georgia Weather Forecast: How Long Will This Heat Wave Last?

ATLANTA, GA — We saw record-breaking high temperatures on Halloween — beating the record by four degrees in Athens. Records will continue to be threatened for the next few days before fall temps finally appear ready to wrest control of the season.

Tuesday's high is expected to reach 80 degrees, just under the record. Wednesday and Thursday will also have a high near 80 degrees, with winds climbing toward 10 mph Thursday.

Cooler temps will follow a chance of showers Thursday night, with the high Friday staying in the 60s and a high Saturday near 70 degrees.

From there, we'll get a few days reaching 74 degrees, before we enter a string of days closer to 70 degrees.
