If you think it's cold now, wait until Friday night.

Metro Atlanta felt its coldest weather since February early Friday, according to Channel 2 Action News. Temperatures dropped into the 20s but felt like the teens, the television station reported.

While it warmed up some in the afternoon, temperatures have started dropping again. And by 9 p.m., temps will fall back into the low 30s, the television station reported.

Temperatures were 35 degrees in Atlanta, 28 in Blairsville and 33 in Griffin just after 8 p.m.

The average high for this time of year is 55 degrees.

Meteorologist Brad Nitz has your Friday night weather forecast.

The cold pattern will last into the weekend, meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

Temperatures will drop some more Saturday morning, but the wind child will not be a factor, Channel 2 reported.

After the cold, rain emerges in metro Atlanta's forecast. There is a 60 percent chance Monday and a 30 percent chance Tuesday.

“It’s going to all be liquid,” Nitz said. "No snow or ice coming."

That will be followed by above-average temps for the Southeast, according to chief meteorologist Glenn Burns.
