Welcome to Georgia’s first arctic blast of the season. Georgians woke up to cold temperatures, but those will be going up as the day progresses.
Highs this afternoon are expected to range from the lower 40s to mid-50s, providing an opportunity for residents to enjoy outdoor activities in sunny, dry conditions.
Tonight, temperatures will drop significantly, with lows dipping into the mid-20s to lower 30s. The clear and dry weather will continue under a starlit sky, making it a chilly but calm evening.
Why It Matters: The daytime highs, while brisk, are manageable for outdoor tasks, exercise, or family outings. The drop in evening temperatures, however, serves as a reminder to take precautions such as protecting plants, ensuring outdoor pets are safe, and dressing warmly when heading out. It might be a good night for hot chocolate by the fire.
Why This Should Catch Your Attention: For anyone planning weekend errands, gatherings, or festivities, this forecast ensures no rain interruptions, but you may want to wait until this afternoon for any outdoor activities.
