Weekend forecast update
Here's an updated look at your FOX 5 Storm Team forecast.
ATLANTA - Temperatures across North Georgia and metro Atlanta are expected to take one more deep plunge this weekend before we get a much-needed break from the arctic air.
The FOX 5 Storm team is expecting a much warmer week ahead, with highs in the upper 60s, maybe even 70s.
How cold is it going to get in Atlanta?
Saturday was expected to be the coldest day, barely reaching freezing in Atlanta with lows in the teens. The wind clocked in at about 11 mph Saturday evening, making it feel even colder.
Overnight, it may even feel like it's below 10 degrees in some areas.
"Given the duration of this next round of arctic air, we'll be even more susceptible to pipes freezing around the area," according to FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Joanne Feldman.
Highs are not expected to get above freezing during this time, with lows not reaching above the teens.
