After a gray and rainy Sunday,  metro Atlanta residents should prepare for a sunny, but chilly start to the work week, according to Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brad Nitz.

"Skies will clear overnight as our temperatures drop to near freezing in metro Atlanta," by Monday morning, Nitz said.  Expect a low of about 42 and a high of 53, Nitz said.

As colder and drier air blows into north Georgia this evening, residents can expect see a few snow flurries in the mountains before midnight.

Sunshine returns on Monday, with a morning low of 33, and an afternoon high that should reach 57 -- the average high temperature this time of year, Nitz notes.

Looking ahead, the highs will begin climbing into the low to mid 60s Tuesday, and upper 60s Wednesday and Thursdays, Nitz said.
