Forecast | Beautiful weekend ahead across the region

We will have a chilly Thursday night, but get a great rebound in temperatures throughout the weekend.

ATLANTA —

Quick Forecast:


Tonight: Clear skies. Low: 43°.
Friday: Plenty of sunshine.  High: 72°.
Saturday: Mostly sunny.  Warming to 76° in the afternoon. 

Discussion:

It was a beautiful and breezy afternoon across north Georgia as temperatures rose into the 60s for highs under a sunny sky.

The only downside with beautiful days like this for this time of year is we may have a spike in pollen levels. We had that for Thursday as pollen counts returned to extremely high after our brief break yesterday.

For tonight, the clear sky continues with temperatures dropping down to the 40s, but 30s into far north Georgia. Some of the higher elevations in far north Georgia may end up with frost tonight, so be sure to protect any sensitive vegetation.
