Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia are facing a chilly evening this Halloween, with a drop in temperatures and strong winds. Highs are expected to only be in the mid-50s today, which is much cooler than usual for this time of year. Winds are gusting up to 25 mph, which is clearing the clouds and will create a partly sunny atmosphere.

The National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory from 2 AM to 10 AM Saturday, warning that temperatures could fall to 33°F, which may harm outdoor plants and crops. Key details include daytime temperatures in the mid-50s, nighttime lows in the upper 30s, wind speeds of 10-15 mph with gusts to 25 mph, and a low chance of light showers.

Local emergency management advises residents to protect sensitive plants, dress in layers, and choose Halloween costumes suited for cooler weather. Dr. Elena Rodriguez, a climate expert, described the situation as a typical autumn transition.

The weather is expected to stabilize over the weekend with gradually warming temperatures.
