Welcome to your detailed weather forecast for Atlanta in April 2025, presented by meteorologist Amy Freeze! This month promises a variety of weather conditions from partly cloudy skies and gentle winds to potential thunderstorms and significant chill spells in the evenings. Understand the patterns with our day-to-day breakdown and expert tips on how to navigate this dynamic weather to make the most of your spring in Atlanta.
On the Regional Radar, a band of rain is sweeping eastward across the northern part of the Southeast. Memphis is experiencing this precipitation and it stretches into the Tennessee River Valley, moving towards Charlotte. Meanwhile, Atlanta is enjoying clearer skies as the rain bypasses to the north. Montgomery is on the edge of the rain area but remains mostly dry at the moment.
Further south, conditions are more settled. Areas such as New Orleans to Jacksonville are seeing clearer skies, offering a reprieve from any wet weather. Houston also enjoys a break from any significant cloud cover or rain, with generally mild conditions being prevalent across the Gulf Coast.
Rain is intensifying farther north in Mississippi, particularly around areas such as Jackson, with showers moving into Alabama. Coastal cities like Tampa and Miami remain largely dry, basking in pleasant conditions as the day advances.
For tomorrow morning in Atlanta, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures starting at 68 degrees by 8 AM. Winds are coming from the southeast at 4 miles per hour. By 10 AM, temperatures rise to 73 degrees with mostly cloudy conditions and southern winds at 7 miles per hour, keeping the morning pleasantly warm.
High temperatures across the Southeast tomorrow are shaping up to be quite warm, with several areas experiencing above-average readings for early April.
In central Georgia, Atlanta is expected to reach a high of 88 degrees, while Montgomery, Alabama, is forecasted for 86 degrees. Further south, Jacksonville, Florida, will hit a warm 90 degrees, and Tampa is projected to reach 91 degrees, both well above the historical averages for this time of year.
Over in New Orleans, temperatures will also be pleasant at 86 degrees, and Jackson, Mississippi, is expected to experience a high of 84 degrees. Moving west, Shreveport, Louisiana, will be slightly cooler at 77 degrees, while Houston, Texas, will see 79 degrees.
Overall, a warm air mass is influencing the region, leading to these elevated temperatures, and the milder conditions could also set the stage for more humidity and possible afternoon thunderstorms.
A band of intense storms is pushing eastward into the Southeast. For Friday morning, expect strong thunderstorms from Shreveport to Memphis, with the risk of severe weather including damaging winds and heavy rainfall. By Friday afternoon, this system will impact areas from Montgomery to Atlanta, necessitating caution during the commute. The cold front advances, bringing scattered storms to Savannah and Jacksonville by nightfall. Watch for rapid rain accumulation that could lead to localized flooding. In the wake of the front, slightly cooler but stable conditions will spread across the region, providing relief from the heavy rain. Stay alert for any weather warnings.
The UV index in Atlanta is low today at 3, partly due to cloud cover, so sun exposure risk is minimal. On Saturday, brace yourself for a higher UV index of 7, where you can expect a burn time of just 20 minutes in the sun. Ensure you’re wearing sunscreen and protective clothing if you plan on enjoying the outdoors!
