Georgia Weather Alert: Sunny but Gusty Conditions on I-75 Wednesday
ATLANTA, Ga. — Georgia drivers should prepare for breezy but clear conditions tonight, followed by a warm, sunny Wednesday that could bring gusty winds along I-75 and I-285.
Gusty Evening, Calmer Overnight
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City reports that east winds near 10 mph may gust up to 20 mph this evening before settling overnight. Lows will dip to around 59 degrees, bringing cooler conditions to start Wednesday.
Heat Returns Midweek
Wednesday will see temperatures quickly climb under clear skies, reaching 84°F by late afternoon. The warm-up continues through the week:
- Thursday: High near 88°F
- Friday: High near 88°F

Communities across north Georgia, including Marietta, Decatur, and Duluth, will also feel the rising heat, though overnight lows in the low 60s will provide some relief.
Health and Safety Reminders
Officials are urging residents to:
