How we looking out there looking pretty good,
not bad at all things uh on the cooler side, in some spots,
you can see some fifties sprinkled in with the sixties that we have around.
In fact, 55 degrees right now in
over to
as well. You had a pair of nickels there.
54 in Noonan Peas Street City at 54 57 degree in Fayetteville.
You're at 60 in Marietta, but 55
in Dallas over into,
over in Paulding County
year at 60 but 54 degrees over into Temple in Northern Carroll County.
63 degrees in Tucker, 60 in Roswell and 63 degrees right now downtown Atlanta,
it's gonna be a decent afternoon.
What are your plans?
Even though we're gonna have partly sunny skies, it will be on the warm side.
Temperature is right around 86 degrees. So,
uh, maybe climate tree, take a look out,
you know, who,
who, if you're a Kennesaw state out
we're looking at again, winds out of the west on the light side today, five
MPH or less. So it will be a decent afternoon for us. Warm.
We're gonna call it warm but a decent afternoon.
Notice the rain back down here to the south and
west of our area over toward parts of Louisiana.
Moving into Mississippi. We'll make it here today.
Although our rain chance will start to increase over the next couple of days.
Stationary boundary down here to the south.
Our winds will shift to more westerly as we head into the afternoon.
But very light, very, very light for today.
This map here shows us where the dry air is and we got up to 86 4 high yesterday,
but it felt comfortable, especially if you were in the shade.
We're going to do that all over again today. The dry air stays in place.
Now, tonight, we'll see that
moisture start to increase back over our area,
meaning that we'll start to see a few more clouds moving in
and a small threat for some rain on your Tuesday. We'll give it a 10 to 20% chance.
By Wednesday up to a 30 to 40% chance.
We'll hold it right there for Thursday and then by Friday,
some drier air will finally start to work back
into the area just in time for the weekend.
It will be nice and dry for us and temperatures
back to where they should be for this time of year
with 20% chance of rain tomorrow, we said 40 to 50
percent.
Oh, sorry,
30 to 40% chance over Wednesday and Thursday and then back down again by Friday.
Now, we need that rain folks.
I know that may put a little hiccup in your plans, but notice we should be closer to,
uh, 38 inches for this time of year.
We're, uh, just below it.
Uh, we actually below by a little over four inches for the year.
So we need some more rain to add to the rain bucket. And so that
on Wednesday, Thursday is actually a good thing for us. Here.
It is our forecast track model.
You follow along with you at the time right there at the
top of the screen shows the clouds in place for this afternoon.
Partly sunny skies will be the call clouds increase tonight into tomorrow.
We'll have mostly cloudy skies at times on your Tuesday
with a very small chance for an isolated shower to,
to pop up.
That chance increases as we head into Wednesday,
we'll be looking at that front sliding a little bit further back to the north.
Notice most of the cloudy skies out there and with the clouds and the rain threat,
our temperatures will be lower.
So tomorrow, close to where we should be at 83 but 77 for the high on Wednesday,
Thursday, 78 and then we'll bounce back as we head into the upcoming weekend.

changing leaf colors is something a lot of people love about the fall time.
Some of our reviewers have some questions about these
leaf colors and how do they get so vibrant?
So let's verify,
does the summer weather conditions impact the timing of fall leaf colors?
Our sources are the US forest service and a blog by Harvard Forest.
Harvard University's ecological research lab,
the vibrant sea and the length of the fall colors.
Well,
that all depends on the amount of moisture in
the soil throughout the summer and fall weather.
A drought in the spring could delay when trees grow leaves,
which can delay the onset of fall colors.
Harvard Forest says a summer drought could stress the
trees causing them to lose their leaves early.
The best fall colors happen when there's warm wet spring
followed by a summer with average temperatures and rainfall and
also fall with sunny days and some cool nights.
So yes, summer weather conditions do affect the timing of the fall leaf colors.
Chesley. Good morning. Good morning to you.
Good morning, everyone.
You got plans this afternoon by noon,
temperatures will be right around 81 degrees at
partly sunny skies for much of the day.
Even though at times it will here mostly cloudy.
We're not looking at any rain coming out of those clouds.
It's going to be a warm afternoon for us
as temperatures will be well into the eighties.
I'm thinking 86 for your afternoon high temperature by six o'clock
will drop back down to 83 degrees northwest breeze at about six
MPH or less for today.
Tomorrow,
clouds will start to increase and our rain chance goes up by the middle of the week,
looking at Wednesday and Thursday with a 30 to 40% chance for some rain
