Wednesday morning was our coldest morning since Dec. 24, 2022. Atlanta got down to 14° with a wind chill around 0°. With mostly clear skies, it will be another very cold night Wednesday into Thursday morning across north Georgia. Lows fall back into the 10s and 20s, making it super important to be sure you're in a warm place overnight.
