Bundle up, folks, because today's forecast is bringing a serious cold snap to the Peach State. We're looking at a sunny day with temperatures struggling to reach a high of just 31 degrees Fahrenheit. Those northwest winds will be whipping around at 10 to 15 miles per hour, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour - so definitely layer up!

Tuesday brings a 40 percent chance of snow, primarily after 1 pm. We're expecting partly sunny conditions with a high near 34 degrees Fahrenheit. There's a possibility of a light dusting - less than half an inch of accumulation.
Looking ahead, we've got some weather warnings to keep an eye on. There's currently a Winter Storm Watch and an Extreme Cold Warning in effect, so stay alert and prepared.
The rest of the week looks like a gradual warm-up. By Friday, we'll see sunny skies with temperatures climbing to 44 degrees Fahrenheit, and Saturday will bring even warmer conditions with a high near 51 degrees.
