Atlanta, GA – A frost advisory has been issued for much of Georgia, including Atlanta, Athens, and Macon, as temperatures are expected to drop as low as 27°F overnight. The advisory is in effect from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. EDT on Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, cold temperatures and frost formation may pose a risk to sensitive outdoor vegetation. Residents in central, east-central, north-central, northeast, and west-central Georgia should take precautions to protect plants from potential damage.
Areas affected include Forsyth, Hall, Jackson, North Fulton, Gwinnett, Barrow, Clarke, Oconee, South Fulton, DeKalb, Rockdale, Walton, Newton, Morgan, Greene, and multiple other counties across the state.
Frost advisories are common in Georgia during early spring, but temperatures this low can be particularly harmful to crops and gardens. Homeowners and farmers are encouraged to cover plants or bring them indoors if possible.
Temperatures are expected to rise after sunrise on Friday, alleviating frost concerns. However, residents should monitor local forecasts for any updates. For more information, visit the National Weather Service website or tune in to local weather reports.
