Atlanta heads into Saturday, June 6 with mostly sunny skies and a high near 88°F — enjoy it while it lasts. The National Weather Service says today is your last clean, dry day before afternoon storms return to the metro starting Sunday, so get outside while the window is open.
Today’s Setup
Upper-level ridging is weakening as high pressure shifts east, and a gentle southerly breeze of 0 to 5 mph begins drawing moisture back into North Georgia. For today, though, skies stay mostly sunny through the afternoon with that comfortable 88°F high. Tonight turns mostly cloudy with a low around 69°F. By Sunday, dewpoints climb into the mid-to-upper 60s — welcome back, Atlanta humidity.
Best Window To Be Outside
The whole day is yours. Morning walkers on the BeltLine, golfers teeing off early, families heading to Piedmont Park — all green lights. The Atlanta Braves host the Pittsburgh Pirates at Truist Park today (June 6) and again Sunday (June 7), and both games land in ideal outdoor conditions. Gear up in your Atlanta Braves jersey and Atlanta Braves fitted cap before heading up to Cobb County. Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still looking for seats. Backyard pool time is also calling — check out this 2-person float with a built-in cooler for just $24 before the rainy stretch arrives.
Rain, Wind, and Heat Risk
No rain today, and winds are barely a whisper at 0 to 5 mph. The 88°F high is warm but standard for early June in Atlanta — stay hydrated and you’ll be fine. The pattern flips Sunday night when showers become possible after 2 AM (about 20% chance), and by Monday the National Weather Service puts storm chances at 61%. Daily afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected Monday through Thursday as the ridge moves offshore and southerly flow takes over. The Storm Prediction Center currently shows no severe weather outlook for the Atlanta area — this looks like a typical summer convective pattern, not a major outbreak.
What To Wear Or Bring
A lightweight linen shirt is all you need today — breezy and perfect whether you’re at the ballpark or strolling through Inman Park. Start packing an umbrella from Sunday onward.
Heads up for Monday: Megan Moroney brings The Cloud 9 Tour to State Farm Arena on June 8, right as the first round of storms rolls in. It’s indoors, so no worries — just grab a Megan Moroney t-shirt or Megan Moroney hat and Find tickets on StubHub before it sells out.
Dinner Tonight
Tonight’s warm, dry weather is made for the backyard grill. A Father’s Day grilling set is a perfectly timed pick with Dad’s day coming up fast — tonight is the ideal test run. For something lighter, pasta or a quick stir-fry works just as well for any weather. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Sunday: Mostly cloudy, high near 84°F — still pleasant but muggier. The Braves close out the Pittsburgh series at Truist Park before showers arrive late overnight.
Monday–Thursday: Afternoon and evening thunderstorms each day as the summer convective pattern locks in. The Summer Walker: Still Finally Over It Tour hits State Farm Arena on June 12 — check back for an updated weather outlook closer to show day.
