Early-morning Monday storms to be followed by freeze warning

We’re in store for some wildly fluctuating weather to start the week.

The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a hazardous weather outlook that begins early Monday morning with thunderstorms and continues into a freeze warning Monday night.

Thunderstorms are in the overnight forecast Sunday into early Monday morning, with the possibility of a quarter- to a half-inch of rain during the rush hour and into early Monday afternoon.

Temperatures will reach only into the low 50s before they will drop severely Monday afternoon, below 40 by the end of the work day and with wind gusts in some areas of up to 30 mph.

A freeze warning is in effect from 11 p.m. Monday to 10 a.m. Tuesday. Lows could get into the mid 20s overnight Monday into Tuesday, and winds also will be gusting, between 20-30 mph in the freeze warning area (yellow in map above).

Tuesday will be sunny with a high in the mid 40s and lows in the high 20s.

Wednesday also will be sunny with highs in the mid 50s and lows around freezing.

By Thursday, warmer weather will return, with sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s.

Weekend highs will be back in the 70s.
