Dogwood Festival forecast
If you're headed to the Dogwood Festival at Piedmont Park, make sure you bring a light jacket.
Walls says it will be sunny and clear but gusty. The high Saturday will be 60 degrees in Atlanta but will feel much colder because of the strong wind.
A little cool but otherwise GREAT weather for the Dogwood Festival (minus the breeze today and tomorrow!) pic.twitter.com/YiKEJWCvaG
