"No question about it. We've got beautiful weather for this time of year, sunshine and mid-50s," Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brad Nitz said. "But we've got 20s right around the corner, the coldest we've had since February."
A cold front is expected to reach the state Thursday morning that could mean below-freezing weather in Atlanta and a few sprinkles in far North Georgia, meteorologists said.
By Friday, metro Atlanta could wake up to lows in the 20s.
