After reaching a high of 62 degrees in Atlanta on Wednesday, the latest forecast indicates temperatures will begin a slow drop.
"No question about it. We've got beautiful weather for this time of year, sunshine and mid-50s," Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brad Nitz said. "But we've got 20s right around the corner, the coldest we've had since February."
A cold front is expected to reach the state Thursday morning that could mean below-freezing weather in Atlanta and a few sprinkles in far North Georgia, meteorologists said.
