Cold temperatures will persist for the area through Saturday. Today, a dry shortwave will pass through Georgia, bringing mid-level clouds, but no precipitation due to very low moisture levels. Expect lows in the low 20s and highs in the 40s, with potentially gusty winds in the afternoon that should decrease by evening. Conditions will remain dry into early weekend.
From Saturday night through Thursday, cool rain is possible Sunday into Monday, with a chance of snow in higher elevations of north Georgia, though no significant accumulation is expected. Monday temperatures will stay in the 40s, with rain totals under half an inch.
Next week will bring warmer temperatures, with afternoon highs reaching the upper 50s and 60s, especially in north and central Georgia. A setup with a trough over the eastern U. S. and a cutoff low over California will influence weather, with a complex interaction that may affect precipitation chances later in the week.
