Weather Impact Forecast | Windy and turning colder

Coldest air of the season arriving.

ATLANTA —

Quick Forecast:

Tonight: Clear skies. Cold. Wind chills drop to the 20s. Low: 37°.
Friday: Chilly and breezy. High: 52°.
Saturday: Slightly warmer with plenty of sunshine. High: 58°.
Sunday: Mostly sunny and warmer.  Highs up to 65°.

Discussion:

Winds settle through the evening, but it stays breezy as lows fall into the 30s overnight. Definitely bundle up for protection from not only the temperatures but also the wind. This will drop the wind chills into the 20s in the metro and 10s in some of the north Georgia mountains.

Friday will be the coldest morning of the week.  We will be watching any moisture in the atmosphere in north Georgia and the mountains of North Carolina.  A few flurries may be possible early Friday in far northeast Georgia.  The highest elevations of North Carolina may even pick up some accumulating snow.

The trends in the models are indicating a chance for some showers on Thanksgiving.  We will keep monitoring the long-term outlook and narrow down the rain chances as we get closer. At this point, we are including a 30-40% chance for some showers.  It doesn't look like a washout, but we may need to dodge some showers at times on Thanksgiving Day.
