Metro Atlantans are waking up to temperatures in the 30s and 40s on this Friday before Christmas.
“If you’re gonna be out early and you need to get that car heated up, it’s only a quick scrape. Not looking at a lot of widespread frost unlike the past several mornings,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Ashley Kramlich said.
Skies will be mostly cloudy today and highs will be up near 60 degrees. Overnight, temperatures are expected to dip into the mid to upper 30s, Kramlich said, “but by the afternoon, though, we’re going to break into the sunshine for tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow actually looks better than today — high of 63,” she said.
If you have any last-minute gift shopping to do, Saturday will be your best bet.
Clouds start rolling back into the area on Christmas Eve, but we should stay mostly dry throughout much of the day. It’ll be Sunday evening when a few isolated showers will be possible, but more widespread rain will arrive Christmas morning, Kramlich said.
“A lot of us will be waking up to the rain,” she said. “Kids opening up the presents, they want to be outside. Well, we will be dodging showers off and on throughout the day.”
The rain is expected to stick around into Tuesday, and some areas could see an inch or two of rain with the bulk of it falling to the east of the city.
