The National Weather Service office in Atlanta has issued a freeze watch from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday for several counties in northwest Georgia, including Cobb.
The watch is part of a larger hazardous weather outlook for most of the weekend in north and central Georgia.
Mild but rainy weather this week helped trees and other vegetation that have been blooming.
The sun will be out for the weekend, but temperatures are forecast to be around freezing for the next few nights.
The possibility of freezing temperatures Sunday and Monday nights are also included in the hazardous weather outlook.
After temperatures Friday ranged into the high 50s, Saturday, Sunday and Monday daytime weather will be warmer, in the low-to-mid 60s. Lows will fall back into the 30s and 40s for most of the coming week.
Wind gusts that were as high as 20 mph today will continue through the weekend, and are expected to be calm by the start of the week. Stronger winds are expected in the mountainous areas of northeast Georgia.
As the work week begins, cloudy skies and rain will return to metro Atlanta, with a 50 percent chance of showers Monday night, and a 30 percent chance on Tuesday night.
