In a surprising turn of weather events, Georgia residents are facing a week of unseasonably cool temperatures. According to the U.S. National Weather Service based in Peachtree City, Georgia, temperatures are predicted to be nearly 10 to 15 degrees below the average for this time of year. The cause behind this cooler spell is a weather phenomenon known as cold air damming, where cold air is trapped against a mountain range.
