Update to an earlier report: This article includes new information about a story we previously covered. Read our earlier report.
The Atlanta area is forecast to move from highs in the 70s to weekend temperatures mostly in the 50s, with frost and freezes likely. Morning lows could reach the 20s in the North Georgia mountains and the 30s in many other areas.
A few showers may pass through far north Georgia late Wednesday into early Thursday. Two cold fronts are expected to bring cooler, breezier conditions afterward. The weekend forecast is mostly dry, and mountain areas are expected to have the lowest temperatures.
Snow is not in the metro Atlanta outlook. For North Georgia’s highest elevations, the National Weather Service estimates the chance of frozen precipitation is below 5%.
Residents can bring sensitive plants indoors or cover them, protect pets from the cold and check for forecast updates.
