Overview
- After a warm, mostly dry weekend, a strong cold front is forecast to sweep through late Monday into Tuesday, rapidly dropping temperatures across the region.
- Highs fall into the 50s and low 60s by Tuesday with inland lows in the 30s, and some spots in Southeast Georgia expected to feel like the 20s at daybreak Tuesday.
- A Freeze Watch is posted for parts of Georgia for Tuesday morning, and forecasters expect the coldest mornings around New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day with inland freezes likely.
- Rain is limited with the front, with only a few stray showers expected as the boundary passes.
- Near-term hazards include patchy to dense morning fog reducing visibility and a continuing moderate to high rip current risk along Atlantic beaches.
