Mild Start To Week Before Cold Front Brings Freezing Temperatures To Northwest Georgia

Northwest Georgia will enjoy several days of sunshine and mild temperatures before a cold front brings rain chances and a significant drop in temperatures later this week.

According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Monday will be sunny with a high near 71 degrees. Mostly clear skies are expected Monday night, with temperatures falling to around 39 degrees.

Tuesday will bring more sunshine and a high near 72, followed by a partly cloudy night with a low around 41.

The forecast for Veterans Day on Wednesday looks favorable for outdoor ceremonies and observances. Mostly sunny skies are expected, with afternoon temperatures reaching around 71 degrees.

Changes arrive late Wednesday night as a storm system approaches the region. There is a 30 percent chance of showers after 1 a.m. Thursday, followed by a 20 percent chance of rain during the day Thursday. The high Thursday will be near 62 degrees.

Forecasters say uncertainty remains regarding the timing and coverage of rainfall, although North Georgia currently has the best chance of seeing showers as the system moves through.

A cold front will push through the region by Friday, bringing some of the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Friday’s high is expected to reach only 51 degrees, with temperatures dropping to around 31 Friday night.

Saturday will be sunny with a high near 54, followed by a mostly clear night with a low around 30 degrees. Sunday will bring sunshine and a high near 61.
