If you thought Monday morning was bone-chilling cold, you’ll hate Tuesday’s temperatures. Although, a lucky few in far North Georgia could see a snow flurry or two.
Overnight, metro Atlanta is expected to see its first 20-degree temps of the season.
“The wind is going to pick up overnight, the sun is going to be out tomorrow (Tuesday), but it is going to be cold,” Channel 2 Action News Brian Monahan said.
With a 49-degree projected high in the city Monday, temperatures across the area are already running about five to 10 degrees below the average 59-degree high for this time of year, according to the National Weather Service.
And behind the cold front that arrives late Monday, temps are expected to drop to 10 to 20 degrees below normal. Tuesday’s high is expected to top out in the low 40s in Atlanta.
In the mountains of North Georgia, at elevations of about 2,000 feet or greater, there could be a few snow flurries, the NWS reports.
It’ll still be very cold Wednesday morning, but temps start returning to the 50s by that afternoon. Highs then are expected to reach the low 50s, and by Thursday, highs should be back in the mid 50s.
