Well, welcome back to weekend morning.
I'd probably don't have to tell you twice,
but it is cold outside right now.
Here's a live look at the
National Fairgrounds in Perry.
You can see people are already enjoying their
morning routine driving down the roads,
but I'm sure they're having a
little bit of trouble trying to
control their steering wheel.
Especially they're going at high speeds
because it is super windy right now.
The American flag just blowing in
the wind and Perry is 32 degrees,
but feeling more like the teens.
That's because we have sustained winds,
not gusts sustained winds at
23 miles an hour this morning.
All of those winds are bringing down all
of the cold air into central Georgia,
so we're staying cold for your 9:00 AM.
Right now I'm making 32 degrees,
30 in Monticello 31 and four site as you
head a little bit to your South and east,
you're seeing a few of the mid to upper 30s.
Excuse me, but still a very cold one at that.
But once you pair it with the wind gust
you're talking feels like temperatures,
how it?
You'll see your skin in the
teens across the area,
some 20s in there.
Maybe if you're lucky you're like
our friends in McRae who are
feeling more like the low 30s.
But still,
you're going to want to need the
heavy jacket as you head throughout
the rest of your day.
Now, pair that cold,
dry,
windy conditions all together and
you get red flag warning.
So across north and central Georgia
we're underneath the red flag
warning until 7:00 PM tonight.
This is to say that you do not want
to burn anything outside because
it could have the potential to
spark some uncontrollable.
Fires it might be the day that
you want to go out and have a
bonfire and do some s'mores.
Your friends.
I would prefer y'all to keep it inside in
the chimney in the fireplace for today.
You probably want to stay inside
anyways because of how cold it is
through your mid morning temperatures.
Only in the 30s,
but if you're heading out this
afternoon still bundle up,
you probably will need a hat and scarf.
2 temperatures will only rise
into the low 40s across the area
as we head towards tonight.
If you're going to a taste
of making beer concert,
it will still be cold.
Especially for holding those beer glasses,
you want to have some gloves.
Temperatures will be in the 30s across
the region now heading into Sunday,
we're going to see temperatures
starting off into the 20s bells.
At least we'll have a very nice warm up.
So again today temperatures will
be in the low to mid 40s,
but at least we'll have plenty of
sunshine heading into tomorrow.
Will have a very cold morning
temperatures in the 20s,
but will rise into the mid 50s where
a very sunny and very mild day.
And that's the first day of our
warm up for the next seven days.
Here's a look at your afternoon highs.
You can see we're going to actually spike
into the 60s feeling more like summer
spring time here in central Georgia.
We're going to rise into the upper 60s,
maybe even some low 70s.
South of Macon as we head into Thursday
and then as we head towards Friday,
we're dropping off into the 50s.
Why is that? Because we have a cold front.
Once you get ahead of the cold front,
you get really warm air and
behind it really cold air.
So here is a long range.
Model is showing us what this cold front
will do over the next four to seven days.
As that cold front starts
to approach the area.
Somewhat stalls there in the
mid South so a lot of rain will
be concentrated to our West.
Most of the rain really won't
come our way until we start
heading towards Thursday morning,
and that rain is going to be persistent
as we head into your Thursday and Friday.
Now the GFS and your models are not
agreeing right now and where we're really
going to see this rain and what timing,
but you can expect rain as we
head from Wednesday into Friday.
So keep the umbrella on you but at
least you won't need a heavy coat.
'cause temperatures will still be in the
60s now as we head towards next weekend.
That's where we start to drop
off again into the 50s.
So a very cold and windy day today.
Again,
the red flag warning is in
effect until 7:00 PM tonight,
so make sure to keep all fires indoors.
And as we head towards tomorrow
we start a warming trend.
Temperatures will rise into the mid
50s before we head to the 60s before
we head towards Groundhogs day.
Maybe this is a sign that spring
is coming early,
but even with the cold weather,
let's not forget about our furry friends.
There's some things we should
do to make sure our pets.
Or staying warm and cozy as we are.
Chances are if it's cold outside,
your pets are cold too,
so you can bring them inside.
And if you can't bring animals inside
each to always make sure they have
a warm dry covered area to rest.
