Cobb County and most of Georgia are under a cold weather advisory, as winter conditions return for the next few days.
The National Weather Service in Atlanta issued the advisory from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 10 a.m. Thursday, with sub-freezing temperatures and wind chill factors taking effect.
In some areas, the wind chills could reach only 5 degrees above zero, and temperatures in Cobb and metro Atlanta will barely get above freezing, if at all.
Below-freezing temperatures will move in later Wednesday night, and in Cobb are expected to fall to the mid- to low-20s.
Thursday will be sunny, but highs are forecast only for the mid 30s, with 15-20 mph winds expected, and gusts could reach 30 mph. Lows could fall into the high teens, with 10-16 mph winds and gusts up to 20 mph.
Friday will be sunny and warmer, with highs in the mid 40s and lows also in the mid 20s, as the wind conditions lessen.
The weekend will be warmer. Saturday will be sunny with highs in the low 50s and lows around 30. Sunday’s forecast calls for sun and highs in the mid 50s and lows around freezing.
Highs in the 60s are expected next week, as milder conditions return.
