GEORGIA — Sunshine and 72 degree warmth will give way to biting November mornings across Atlanta, with temperatures approaching freezing by Saturday.
A dramatic 39 degree temperature swing could catch residents off guard as colder air settles across northern Georgia.
According to the National Weather Service, Atlanta faces a significant cooldown between Tuesday, November 10, and Saturday, November 14.
The biggest concern isn't rain or snow. It's how quickly comfortable afternoon temperatures transition into near freezing morning conditions.
Atlanta's Warm Weather Takes a Sharp Turn Tuesday brings partly sunny skies and temperatures reaching approximately 72 degrees.
Wednesday, Veterans Day, stays pleasant, with sunshine and highs near 71 degrees.
West winds could gust to 15 mph Wednesday afternoon and 20 mph Wednesday night.
These conditions provide an opportunity to clear fallen leaves, clean gutters and secure outdoor decorations before colder weather arrives.
However, the temperature pattern changes heading into Thursday.
NOAA meteorologists are tracking a broader surge of colder air into the eastern United States.
Thursday Begins Atlanta's November Cooldown Thursday, November 12, brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 65 degrees.
By Thursday night, temperatures fall toward 42 degrees.
That's a noticeable change for residents accustomed to the week's earlier warmth.
Friday delivers the sharper drop.
Afternoon temperatures reach only 54 degrees, approximately 18 degrees colder than Tuesday's high.
Friday night brings mostly clear skies and temperatures falling toward 34 degrees.
Residents should prepare to protect sensitive outdoor plants, especially in colder, sheltered locations.
Saturday Morning Could Bring Near Freezing Conditions Saturday, November 14, brings the week's most significant cold weather concern.
Morning temperatures could approach freezing before sunshine pushes afternoon readings toward 54 degrees.
The National Weather Service projects Saturday night's low near 33 degrees.
That places temperatures just one degree above freezing.
Frost may develop in favorable locations, although no Frost Advisory is shown in the supplied Atlanta outlook.
Gardeners should consider covering tender plants and moving vulnerable containers indoors.
Drivers along Interstate 75, Interstate 85 and Interstate 285 should remain aware of localized frost or slick spots where moisture develops.
However, widespread icy roads or flash freezing are not currently indicated.
No snow, thunderstorms or tornado threat appears in Atlanta's supplied five day outlook.
