(Atlanta News First) — Cooler, windy weather arrives today, setting the stage for a cold Friday and a weekend with freezing temperatures across much of the region. Today Today will be mostly sunny, with highs in the 60s. Wind gusts could reach 30 mph. Friday Friday is a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY because of the cold. Highs will reach the low 50s, but the wind will make it feel like the 40s during the afternoon and the 30s in the evening. Saturday Saturday and Sunday are also FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS for cold temperatures. Most of north Georgia, except Atlanta, will see a freeze each morning. It will feel like the 20s across the region on both mornings. What to do If you live outside Atlanta, plan to protect temperature-sensitive plants before the weekend. Everyone heading out early Saturday or Sunday should dress for the cold. Copyright 2026 WANF. All rights reserved.
