ATLANTA — Several places are opening an emergency warming centers Monday night ahead of frigid overnight temperatures.
According to the 11Alive StormTrackers, temperatures on Monday will plummet in the overnight hours into early Tuesday - and bottom out in the 20s.
As these temperatures drop like a rock, moisture behind the system will cause snow flurries over north Georgia late Monday into early Tuesday. Little to no accumulation is expected. Only about 1.5” will fall over the extreme higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains.
But temperatures will stay cold: highs on Tuesday will barely get above 40°.
Temperatures will start to moderate and warm after midweek.
Below is a list of places available to those who need them.
