Southeast Georgia’s main frost concern this weekend is early Sunday, when temperatures are forecast to hover around freezing. Forecaster Alysa Carsley said a Freeze Watch is in effect through Sunday morning, and advised covering sensitive plants or bringing them indoors.
Widespread inland frost or freezing conditions are considered unlikely Saturday morning, though a few spots could start just above freezing. Saturday’s high temperatures are forecast in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Friday began with temperatures in the mid-40s, and highs are expected to reach only the low to mid-60s. Breezy winds are forecast to keep the day feeling chilly. After sunset, temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 40s through 9 p.m., with breezy conditions continuing overnight.
Early Sunday could bring the season’s first frost to inland communities, according to the forecast. Temperatures are expected to remain near freezing in the morning.
A gradual warmup is forecast next week, with highs in the lower 60s Monday and the lower 70s by Thursday and Friday. Clouds and a stray shower are possible Monday and Tuesday as a coastal low crosses northern Florida.
