The weather in North Georgia on Wednesday is a bit of give-and-take, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.
The day is starting off cold with temperatures in the 20s and low 30s across the region. But Monahan said it will finish with more sunshine and slightly warmer weather than the day before.
“The tradeoff is we get through the cold morning, and then we’ve got a nice afternoon with the sunshine,” he said.
There is no snow Wednesday in the northeast Georgia mountains. Monahan said the entire region will be cold but dry, with wind chills in the 20s for much of the morning.
It is unlikely commuters will need to defrost their windshields before leaving for work, he said.
“The humidity is pretty low so the air is dry,” he said. “I think we’ll have next to no frost to deal with this morning.”
By 1 p.m., North Georgia should be mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid-40s, according to Channel 2. Atlanta’s projected high is 49 degrees, slightly higher than Tuesday’s top temperature of 47.

“We’re not going to have any clouds to fight through later today,” Monahan said. “Should be plenty of sunshine all the way through your Wednesday.”
There is no rain in the forecast Wednesday or Thursday, but showers are 70% likely Friday, he said.

While Monahan said windshields will be frost-free, the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center is getting reports of icy pavement Wednesday morning.
Patches of ice have been reported on I-575 South at Barrett Parkway and on I-20 East at the ramp to the Downtown Connector.
The ice was not causing any delays, and there is no need for alternate routes anywhere on metro Atlanta’s interstate system, the Traffic Center reported at 6 a.m.
