Two cold fronts are moving through Georgia over the next several days, bringing the coolest temperatures of fall so far to most of the state.
What It Means For You: Morning temperatures will drop into the 40s across north and central Georgia, making this the coldest stretch of the season. You’ll want to grab a jacket before heading out the door.
What’s Happening: The first cold front is passing through today, followed by another dry cold front midweek. Both will keep temperatures at normal October levels with no rain expected.
- Metro Atlanta will see morning lows between 44 and 53 degrees through the week, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 70s.
- Mountain areas will feel cooler while central Georgia stays slightly warmer.
The Big Picture: These cold fronts mark the real arrival of fall weather in Georgia. After a warm start to October, temperatures are finally settling into what’s typical for this time of year. The dry conditions also mean no relief for areas still dealing with drought concerns across the state.
