Atlanta Weather & Traffic

For those of you that have not been to Atlanta be advised that the temperature and conditions can change very quickly here. I suggest that you bring a light jacket and perhaps a compact umbrella with you.

The Atlanta low temperature tomorrow, Apr 13 – Tues will reach into the 30’s however the forecast for the Championship ranges from a high of 76 to a low of 50F.

For those with allergies be aware that we are nearing the end of the heaviest pollen season. Right now everything outside is coated in green & yellow pollen. The count yesterday was 3243.

For those of you that will be traveling on the downtown interstates, be aware that GA DOT is resurfacing I75 / I85 downtown. This work is only being done on a 5 mile stretch of interstate, from Friday night at 9pm to Monday at 5am. A fantastic website to inquire about Atlanta traffic is Georgia Navigator.

Free traffic info with a live person, can be found via your cell phone in the Atlanta area. Verizon and Sprint PCS customers can dial toll free *DOT (*368) and AT&T customers can dial #DOT (#368) or call 1-888-635-8287. You can also call 511 from any phone for prerecorded road information.

Atlanta is looking forward to hosting the First Championship event for the 5th year in a row and we hope everyone has a great and safe time here!
