Light showers may temporarily dampen your plans Sunday, but the incoming cold front isn’t expected to bring too much disturbance.

With a cloudy day ahead, you may want to savor the few hours of sunshine in the morning. It will be a chilly start with a low of 42 degrees, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon said

Hours ahead of the cold front, cloud coverage will start building. By 10 a.m., Deon said it will be already mostly cloudy in metro Atlanta.

“As that cold front approaches, we’ll notice the clouds increasing,” according to Deon.

Light showers may come as early as noon, but more rainfall is expected in the afternoon, when a high of 56 degrees is also anticipated.

The cold front moves into North Georgia by the late afternoon and begins to cross over metro Atlanta by the evening. Deon said light scattered showers will pass through as the front moves south.

The rain will not be sticking around in the coming days, but the low temperatures will.

“We’re going to turn even cooler as we go into early next week,” Deon said.

Monday and Tuesday will be chilly with afternoon highs in the low 50s in Atlanta. Both days will be mostly sunny.

Warmer conditions return Wednesday, when a high of 57 degrees is projected. Deon predicts that showers will return by Friday.
