TUESDAY’S WEATHER | Coolest air in months moves into metro Atlanta

Grab that jacket again because it’s another chilly morning in metro Atlanta.

“That (northern) wind continues to blow in some of the coolest air we’ve felt in about five or six months,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.

Tuesday is starting off with temperatures in the 40s in the city, well below the average low of 55 degrees for this time of year.

The region will stay cool throughout the day, Monahan said, but it should be warmer than yesterday. Monday’s high topped out around 60 degrees in the city. More sunshine in the forecast Tuesday will put Atlanta in the upper 60s for a high.

Cloudy and chilly start to Tuesday

That’s still cooler than average for this time of year, which would normally see highs in the mid-70s. Monahan said the city should return to average highs by midweek.

Wednesday and Thursday will see temperatures get up into the 70s with lows in the 50s, according to the latest forecast.

As for rain, there is none in the forecast today or tomorrow. A small chance of showers creeps Thursday in ahead of a cold front, bringing widespread rain on Friday and even a chance of a thunderstorm, Monahan said. But conditions improve for the weekend, which is expected to be dry, bright and sunny with highs in the upper 60s.
