Cold temperatures across North Georgia
A freeze watch is already in effect for Monday morning, with temperatures expected to drop into the 20s and 30s across much of north and central Georgia. Wind chills could make it feel even colder, especially in the mountains, where snow flurries or light snow showers may develop early Monday.
Highs Monday will only reach the low 40s, and lows will fall into the 20s by Tuesday morning. By Veterans Day, temperatures are expected to rebound slightly into the 50s before climbing back into the upper 60s late next week.
