Atlanta weather. Rain Wednesday & Nice overall Thursday-Saturday.

Next question what is the allergin report for next week I just heard a story about how bad the pollen was this spring in Georgia and that is spawned a new art form. (Pollen art) Appearantly, residents started drawing pictures on their patio funiture and cars in the pollen dust and submitted them to the local media. Have recent rains cleared the air or is there still daily dusting

Yes the rains have cleared almost all of the pollen from everything. Pollen counts at the end of March were over 5,000. The counts this past week per Atlanta Allergy were 258-748 which are rated as extremely high but nothing like last month. Happy breathing.

(Can't wait to get out of this nutty-weathered state)

Good luck! what would you team do if the flight was cancelled?

Looks like the weather forecast is changing.... I hope they are wrong about the rain on Thursday and Saturday.

There's just something about the cold that makes you want to taste it, but once you get a whiff, it's just unbearable. The heat on the other hand, I can just lie in the sun all day .

I agree I rather sweat than be cold.

I'm just tired of the lake effect snowstorms that have wiped out an entire weekend of baseball in Cleveland (Thank you, Bud Selig and MLB, you mental giants, you, for your scheduling brilliance ).

Get me to Atlanta fast!

It says there are chances of rain on Saturday

To be fair, it snowed in Arlington (home of the Rangers) yesterday, too. I think they should just earn their pay and play in the stuff, especially if fans show

*ahem*

Back to the topic. I wouldn't mind T-storms on Thursday, because personally, I love thunderstorms. I have fond memories of 2005 in the Omni playing cards in the hallway and seeing lightning flashes over the roof their (which was glass but was fairly opaque, if I remember correctly). Saturday is a bit different, because I hope that the wrap party stays dry, especially for all of those fireworks!

My friend Jeff and I know to expect this.

God: "Hey, Indians are in town. It's not May, so lets snow them out."

Snowing/cold/really bad in Dayton too. It was 80 one day, low 40s the next.

Fans were jumping the fence to make snow angels, and they were making mini snowmen in the stands. Victor Martinez is going on the DL because of the cold conditions. When it was snowing hard, the conditions were unplayable. Of course, as soon as the gullible umps call the game for good (1 out from an official game, with the Indians up 4-0, after the simply awesome grounds crew assaulted the field with leaf blowers for over an hour), it stops snowing for three hours. Someone needs to learn how to interpret a radar screen.

They should have played in Safeco. I was there at the game til the end and was lucky I still had all my fingers and toes afterward - I'd gladly give up an early April game to have a chance of a home opener with more suitable weather.

Again, I digress - get me to Atlanta fast!

My parents live in near Chagrin Falls. They had almost 3 feet of snow when I talked to them this morning. Gotta love the snow belt.

By the way, when dangerousdave said 5000, he really meant 5000, it even got to like 5200+... bring some allergy medication if you are allergic to pollen. It hasnt been that bad as of late but watch out just incase

also, there were lows of 30's here these past few days. We in georgia are used to warm 70-80 weather so wearing shorts these past couple of days was a bad choice on my part. No snow though...

Oh great... better stock up on the Claritin D.

The weather today (Thursday) in Atlanta was very nice after a little chill and fog this morning. Low 70's but a little windy. Should be nice tomorrow but likely a rain storm on Saturday afternoon.
