The autumnal equinox took place on Sunday morning, but the weather in East Cobb is going to feel a lot like the summer.
This week’s fall break will include high temperatures in the high 90s and low 90s.
The high on Sunday—the first day of fall—felt like the middle of summer, with temps in the mid-90s and humidity around 30 percent.
Sunny skies are in the forecast through Tuesday night, and a 30-40 percent chance of rain is expected from Wednesday-Sunday night.
Cooler weather will come in over the weekend, with Saturday’s high in the high 70s and similar temperatures in the forecast for early next week.

The equinox takes place twice a year, in September and March, when the sun is exactly above the equator and day and night are of equal length.
The start to spring is around March 20-21, then the sun crosses back northbound across the celestial equator.
Autumn officially lasts until Dec. 21-22 in the Northern Hemisphere, when winter begins.
