After a day of winter weather on Friday, temperatures are around 32 degrees this morning and are predicted to rise into the upper 30s later today, improving conditions and drying the roads. However, wind is a concern today.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Peachtree City has issued a warning for winds that are expected to increase late this morning, which could lead to more tree damage and power outages on frozen lines. Northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph are predicted, with gusts up to 25 mph this afternoon. The higher temperatures may help melt some of the icy roads troubling drivers. As temperatures drop overnight, a cold night is expected with lows in the teens. Strong winds in the evening could make it feel even colder due to wind chill factors.

Looking ahead, dry weather is expected throughout the weekend, with winds easing on Sunday. High temperatures may reach the mid-40s to low 50s by Sunday afternoon. From Sunday night through Friday, Northern Georgia has a lower chance of rain. Light rainfall is expected, and there is a slight risk for light freezing rain late Sunday night into Monday morning.

As the week progresses, a Canadian high-pressure system will bring dry weather and cooler temperatures, with cold mornings and wind chill values in the teens. Residents should stay updated on the weather and be prepared for wind and cold conditions in the coming days.
