A couple days of unexpected mild temps that’ll be downright pleasant for December are coming up to cap off the week and start the weekend, but it’ll turn into something akin to polar temps outside for highs and lows based on the latest predictions from the National Weather Service.
Friday’s forecast calls for sunshine and temps up into the low 60s in some spots around Northwest Georgia, and more of the same on Saturday as lows dip down into the 30s overnight.
But by Saturday night, there’s chances of rain and lows will drop into the 30s, and then it’ll turn full-on frigid by Sunday as skies clear again and the thermometer barely clears the 30s for the day, and drops overnight well below freezing.
The overnight low heading into Monday is currently at down into the teens, but could be colder in higher elevations as a another round of Arctic air will bring near record cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills from the Northern High Plains into the Mid-South and Mid-Atlantic through the weekend.

Expect the thermometer to start heading back in the right direction on Monday with highs in the low to mid 40s around the area, but still dip well below freezing into the teens and 20s overnight heading into Tuesday.
Sunshine will prevail through the early week and into midweek, but chances of showers return and bring with it some more seasonable temperatures with it as highs will by this time next week be back into the 60s in Northwest Georgia, and should remain in the low to mid 60s through the weekend with the likelihood of showers.
