It was sunny all day, but the sunshine didn’t have a major impact on temperatures Wednesday.
Currently, it’s 46 degrees in Atlanta, but earlier the city reached a high of 51.
The good news: It passed the expected high of 50. The bad news: That’s 13 degrees below the average high for this time of year.
And temps are expected to plunge.
A break from the cold is on the way. We will see significantly warmer, more humid conditions by the weekend. Grab your shorts and flip-flops! pic.twitter.com/a70kT6RFcR

That’s why Atlanta plans to reopen an emergency warming center at the Old Adamsville Recreation Center at 3404 Delmar Lane at 6 p.m. It will remain open until 10:30 a.m. Thursday, shortly after a freeze warning expires.
During the warning, which is set to last from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday, subfreezing conditions will be “highly likely” across metro Atlanta and other parts of North Georgia, the National Weather Service said.
Relief could come later Thursday in the form of a warming trend, Nitz said.
Highs are forecast to hit 65 Thursday and 70 Friday.
