Atlanta Daytime Traffic?

WAZE, and Google maps do a good job with traffic. I'd go through the middle, and just take your time, pick a middle lane, and just be patient. I think the 2nd would be really light traffic, but the 3rd shouldn't be bad since most schools go back on the 4th.

We got a late start a couple of weeks ago, and hit downtown at 5pm on a Friday afternoon pulling a 33ft TT. We expected the worst, but it was better than expected, just took our time and made it through no problem.

You will likely be OK, Mondays and Fridays are usually busier than other days - Mondays - those coming back into town and Fridays those getting out of town. Lot of people live inside the loop but get out on weekends. With this being a holiday weekend I would guess it would be more coming back on Monday as well.
Tuesday or Wednesday would be my choice - and I travel there regularly

Straight thru, the bypass is always worse. Get in the middle and move along. I've pulled our 42' fiver through on a Saturday afternoon and as long as you planned for exits you'll be fine. Good luck and happy new year

Straight through is better most any time of day

Double ditto.
Do a search for "live traffic flow Atlanta". I recall several sites that post that.

Straight through at the time you indicated.
January 2nd will be observed as a holiday for most businesses so the traffic will be almost as light as on a Sunday.
x2 on the conditions on I285, bad roads and lots of trucks.
NEVER EVER on a weekday between 0600 and 0900 and 1500 and 1900.
