A live look at Hartsfield Jackson Airport where the biggest story
of the day was unfolding with all this, the planes being stopped there
and across the country. On any other day,
the weather might have been the top story given how...
Much has changed in a big hurry.
Yeah, a dramatic cool down tonight as we can see a plane taking off.
A welcome sight to people who are waiting
for flights there at Hartsfield-Jackson.
But let's bring in meteorologist Marquise Meade
to talk about this cool down.
Marquise, yesterday felt like fall and today it feels like winter.
Yeah, we are changing seasons abruptly here across North Georgia.
Nice to see that planes are beginning to take off.
What's not so nice to see, this number right in front of you.
Forty one degrees. That's what's waiting for you as you step outdoors
and take a look at the difference
that 24 hours can make already 10 degrees cooler than we
were at this point in time moving across the evening yesterday.
The reason why is that we watched not one
but two frontal boundaries sweep across your late work week forecast.
And because of that, we are cool and breezy.
Winds are coming in from the north and the west at 12 miles per hour.
And that northerly component has us all in the 40s. And some of us
Down in the 30s here, just before 1030.
Blue Ridge, Clayton, I'm looking at you guys.
39-degree temperatures.
And even further south, typically
these communities are some of our warmest.
But LaGrange, Thomaston, you're back down to 37-degree temperatures.
So it's no surprise that we do have freeze and frost alerts in place.
Basically, once you move north of I-85,
that's where you're going to go into the freeze warning territory.
With temperatures dropping below 32 degrees tonight.
Frost advisory outlined here in light blue,
and that includes us here in the metro.
Still, though, we will see the opportunity for some
of the coolest weather that we've seen in over seven months.
Very abnormal for us, but with two frontal boundaries crossing over
the forecast on day two,
we can expect widespread freezing concerns here across north Georgia.
So a freeze warning will be in place on Sunday morning.
Here's what you can be stepping outdoors to early on Saturday.
Temperatures.
That drop all the way down to 36 degrees.
But once you factor in the wind chill,
it'll feel like you're below freezing
with a feels-like temperature of 31.
So you definitely need the winter attire tomorrow
and you'll need it heading into the work week.
I'll show you when conditions will begin to warm up.
Once again, coming up next time, I'll see you.
