Fall-like temperatures arrive to start the week

The rain has moved on, leaving sunshine and cooler temperatures in its wake.

Monday is expected to be the most fall-like day of the week, with a high around 77 degrees and a low about 54, according to the National Weather Service.

If you were reaching for extra covers before the alarm went off early Monday, it could be because the low temperature fell to about 46 degrees around 4 a.m., falling below a record low of 47 degrees set in 1985 for this date, according to WBTV.

The forecast calls for highs in the low to mid-80s the rest of the week. Overnight temperatures are expected to be in the mid-50s to low 60s.

The high Tuesday and Wednesday is expected to be about 82. The low should be around 56 Tuesday and 59 Wednesday.

Expect a high around 84 Thursday and a low of about 60.

Friday’s high should be about 85, with a low around 62.

The weekend should bring slightly warmer temperatures and more sunshine. The high Saturday and Sunday is expected to be around 86.
