Mostly sunny today and warmer with high temperatures in the mid 50s. Light west wind around 5mph.

Tonight, mostly clear and cool again with overnight lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.

Thursday will be very sunny again, but the wind picks up from the NW around 10mph, gusting to 20mph. That wind will keep temperatures at bay in the upper 40s.

The next round of rain moves in Friday overnight and moves out by the second half of the day Sunday.

Showers early, otherwise overcast skies. Clouds will begin to break during the afternoon hours, but temperatures will remain in the upper 40s for the afternoon. Wind really picks up during the second half of the day from the NW between 10-15mph, gusting up to 30mph.

Tonight mostly clear and cold with overnight low temperatures in the mid to upper 20s. Winds will lighten to only 5-10mph from the NW.

Finally, mostly sunny for Wednesday, but it won't help temperatures very much. Highs will only be in the low 50s. Sunshine will remain in the forecast through the remainder of the work week.

If you found yourself complaining about the soggy cold weather today, it could be worse! NASA released some new information today about the coldest place on earth. It also revealed a new record low temperature ever recorded on earth. It is using new technology to analyze temperatures in remote places. It's interesting that the coldest earth temperature ever recorded was actually in 2010. We came close to seeing it matched in July of 2013.

Check out the article from NASA:

What is the coldest place on Earth? It is a high ridge in Antarctica on the East Antarctic Plateau where temperatures in several hollows can dip below minus 133.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 92 degrees Celsius) on a clear winter night.

Today is the 8th day in a row of measurable rain in Atlanta. I looks like tomorrow will be number 9. We have another wave of rain that will move in overnight into Tuesday morning.

The rain Tuesday morning will shift to the south and east. The showers will end here in Atlanta late morning. The wind will kick up and the clouds will break up in the afternoon Tuesday. We will finally see some sunshine Tuesday afternoon!

It will be partly cloudy and cool Wednesday. Expect mostly sunny skies Thursday and Friday with chilly temperatures in the morning and cool afternoons.

Just in time for the weekend, we go back to a 40% chance of showers both Saturday and Sunday.

Showers continue to move through the area Sunday night into Monday morning. This area of rain is moving very slowly toward the east. The band of rain is picking up moisture from the south and west and it feeding it toward the north and east. This moisture feed will continue Monday into Tuesday.

The rain chances will be higher Tuesday morning, then will decrease later in the day. The clouds will move out Wednesday. Thursday and Friday look like they will be the best days of the week with more sunshine and cool air. The rain chances come back for the weekend. There will be a 40% chance for showers both Saturday and Sunday.
