That doesn’t mean the cold temperatures are gone.
Monahan says Atlanta typically sees the last teens of the season on average by Jan. 30. We’re several weeks past that already. The latest that Atlanta had temperatures in the teens was March 17 back in 1955.
Here’s what to know for the weekend:
- Mostly sunny and into the mid 40s by Friday afternoon
- Saturday morning cold again with lows in 20s, but highs in 50s by afternoon
