It’s a comfortable 60 degrees and Atlanta can expect more of the same Friday afternoon.

But the city must first fight through the return of 40-degree weather.

Wake-up weather is expected to 49 degrees by 7 a.m., Channel 2 Action News reported. Temperatures are expected to continue increasing, with a forecast high of 72 on Friday.

A cold front is expected Saturday morning that could bring the coldest air of the season in the form of a drop to the 30s Monday.

Lows are expected to hit 55 Saturday, 39 Sunday and 37 Monday, Channel 2 reported.

“Likely we’ll see our first frost across metro Atlanta Monday morning,” Channel 2 meterologist Brad Nitz said.

So far, lows have dipped into the 40s in metro Atlanta. A frost advisory was only in effect for far North Georgia on Wednesday and Thursday morning.

Here's Severe Weather Team 2's Brad Nitz with a look at your Thursday evening forecast.

Highs are expected to reach 60 Saturday, 54 Sunday and 60 Monday.

Rain is also in the forecast, Nitz said. There is a 90 percent chance of showers Saturday.

“So I expect Saturday to be a fairly wet day,” he said.
