ATLANTA, GA – Frost sparkles across rooftops and lawns this Veterans Day morning as a biting wind pushes through the metro. The air feels raw and still — a deep November chill that briefly turns north Georgia into an early winter scene. Car windshields need scraping, and pets rush back indoors as temperatures plunge into the 20s before sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, a Freeze Warning remains in effect until 10 a.m. Tuesday for much of north and central Georgia, including Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Clayton Counties. Subfreezing temperatures as low as 26°F could damage tender vegetation and threaten exposed pipes. Residents are urged to cover outdoor plants, drip faucets, and check on neighbors sensitive to the cold.
This brief cold snap ends by midmorning as bright sunshine takes hold. Winds turn west and temperatures rebound sharply — from the 30s at dawn to near 50°F by afternoon. Wednesday begins a stretch of classic late-fall weather, with sunny skies and highs climbing into the low 60s, reaching the upper 60s and even low 70s by Thursday and Friday.
Forecasters expect the warming trend to last through the weekend, perfect for outdoor events, leaf cleanup, or early holiday shopping. Light rain chances may return late Sunday, but no major cold push follows. For now, this morning’s freeze looks to be winter’s early teaser — a short-lived chill before Georgia warms right back into fall comfort.
