It was cloudy and unseasonably cool Tuesday afternoon, but “a big warmup” is in the forecast, according to Channel 2 Action News.

“Three days of the gloom and gray,” Channel 2 meteorologist Brian Monahan said. “I think that’s going to be enough.”

According to the latest forecast, temperatures could spike Wednesday afternoon to 76 degrees in Atlanta, 77 in Athens and 78 in LaGrange. That follows a morning low of 50.

“Atlanta will be about 27 degrees warmer in the afternoon than on Monday,” Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton said.
