Andrew, it is so cold outside.
It's cold in the studio. We're just cold.
Yeah, it's frigid outside.
It's not. It doesn't feel like
the first day of spring, right?
It feels like it would be, I dot
know, back in December again. But no,
we're on the first day of spring today.
Temperatures outside are starting off
in the 20s and even teens in some spots.
So you can need that heavy jacket when
you head out the door looking on
the North End of the perimeter .
The King and Queen building looking stunning.
A clear sky overhead,
little bit of a breeze.
You could barely see that out there from
the flagpole out there in downtown Rome.
So we are going to have a little
bit of a breeze today.
It's gonna make it feel a littlt
cooler than what it actually is.
Right now it feels like
the lower 20s in Atlanta,
but 29 degrees is the actual air temperature.
17 is the actual air temperature there
in Blairsville, 20 in Edenton, Thomaston.
Athens is starting off very cold as we
head throughout this afternoon though,
we rise into the 50s thanks to
a lot of sunshine, this freeze.
Only though is in place until noon today,
so that's how long some spots could even
stay right around that freezing mark.
That's gonna be really into the
far north Georgia mountains tho,
where they're gonna be staying there in
the freezing point for a little bit longer.
Now we are under a freeze watch for tonight,
so that lets you know everything you did
this past evening to protect those plants.
Do it again for tonight.
Temperatures aren't going to bes
cold as what we have for this morning,
but it is still going to be faiy
chilly with temperatures in the lower
30s as we start off our Tuesday.
Again, a lot of sunshine.
For today,
that's gonna help the temperatus
rise into the mid 50s for highs
that's gonna be around 4:00 or 0
o'clock this afternoon.
Gonna start to see a little bit of cloud
cover moving down from our soutt
as we head throughout this even.
It'll be pretty much out of here
though as we head throughout tomorrow
morning and we're going to have a few
more clouds for tomorrow aftern.
About a partly cloudy sky there as we
head throughout the day on Tues.
Look at that.
Temperatures 61 there possibly n
as we head throughout the aftern
on Tuesday going to be nice and warm,
we move into Wednesday morning
temperatures continue this warmg
trend starting off in the 40s
compared to those.
20s that we have outside this morning

for the afternoon on Wednesday.
A nice warming trend as we head
throughout the next few days,
hitting 80 degrees there for
the high on Friday,
our average high this time of year 67.
So we will be well above that for today.

She is a voice for the dead
