The autumnal equinox—also known as the first day of fall—still felt very summer-like.
The day that the Sun moves north across the celestial equator—signalling the coming of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere—brought with it plenty of sunshine to the East Cobb are.
Temperatures hovered around 80 degrees Saturday, and the low humidity and a gentle breeze made outdoor activities irresistible on what’s also the first day of fall break in Cobb County.
Sparser weekend crowds than usual gathered at East Cobb park for walking, picnicking and relaxation, as Cobb schools will be out of session all next week.
The local forecast calls for more of the same over the next week—sunshine, mild temperatures and little to no chance of rain.
Highs from Sunday through Tuesday are expected to be in the mid 80s with lows in the high 50s.
Cooler weather and clouds will move in after that, with highs forecast around 80 through next weekend and lows in the low- to mid 60s.
