Heading into the overnight hours and Wednesday morning, Nitz says you can expect a mild start to the day with some clouds, but staying dry at least through mid-afternoon.

Temperatures throughout the day will start in the low 70s in Atlanta and in the mid to upper 60s around the metro area before the heat comes in.
