Cold this weekend

Recommended Videos



  • A cold weekend is on tap, and with breezy conditions. You’ll feel it.
  • Temperatures overnight will be in single digits for most of us (near 10 degrees in the Metro Zone), with wind chills below zero.
  • Wind chills only make it into the single digits Saturday, but some relief from the cold returns early next week.

Snow chances Monday

  • We have a bit more confidence in what transpires Monday, but there are still some questions that are highly dependent on the system that impacts the South this weekend (more on that below).
  • At this point, it looks like the major snow will miss us just to our east, but if that system takes a slightly different track, some east-siders could see more snow Monday.
  • Outside of the big storm system, a few snowflakes will try to swing through from the west Monday, but probably won’t amount to much.

Snow chances Wednesday

  • Long-range models are still bringing that low overhead late Tuesday and Wednesday, and with it comes breezy conditions and a few snow showers.
  • It still looks like low-impact type stuff, though.

Southern snow storm

  • Confidence continues to grow that this will be an impactful storm for the South, with a combination of snow and freezing rain.
  • There’s still a little uncertainty about where the freezing rain/snow sets up, but the consensus is that travel will be a concern this weekend, especially since Atlanta is such a big travel hub and will likely take a good hit from this storm.
