Coldest Air on the Move Towards North Georgia! | Weather

Well, General Beauregard Lee was a bit off with his prediction this year calling for an early spring because the coldest air of the year BY FAR is on the way towards all of N Georgia! This is the coldest air mass we have seen since early January where we dipped into the mid 20's in the metro one morning... This one will take us into the upper teens by Sunday morning..

Short Term

Tonight we will see a lot of clouds around the state with the approaching upper level system, and there could be some light drizzle in far NE Georgia, but no accumulations are expected. Temps will remain in the lower 50's through around 10pm and there will be a very slim chance for a light sprinkle. Temps overnight will stay in the mid to upper 40's with light winds from the south at around 10-15mph. Chance of rain overnight is slim, but right ahead of the front which should move into the state by around 6am there could be a light sprinkle or two.

Tomorrow and Sunday

So the front moves through N Georgia in the early morning hours... First in the mountains by around 7am, then metro Atlanta by around 9am. Temps will be in the mid 40's when the front moves through and that is about it for the "heat of the day" We should hover in the lower 40's throughout the morning and then plummet into the mid 30's by the afternoon. In the N Georgia mountains there could be a few flurries in the early morning hours but no accumulations are expected at all. This will be the coldest air of the year so make sure you are prepared. The winds will be the major problem tomorrow as they are expected to blow at around 20-30mph with wind chills down into the teens and near single digits in far N Georgia. Winds will start to die off around 9-10pm tomorrow night. Temps will fall below the freezing mark by around 3-4pm tomorrow in metro Atlanta and stay below freezing for almost 18 hours! This will kill all the flowering trees that have already bloomed. Sunday's high will reach around 40 degrees..
