    Mar 2 2026
    Good morning. Georgia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Fifty five degrees and clear skies right now. Feels pretty nice, right? Don't get too comfortable. A sneaky cold front is sliding in from the northeast this morning. and it's about to change the game. In the next 24 hours. This is what meteorologists call a wedge pattern. Picture cool air spilling down the eastern seaboard like water pouring over a ledge. It hits the Appalachian Mountains and gets trapped. That wedge of cooler air settles right over Georgia, keeping temperatures in check all day. Metro Atlanta tops out around 64 degrees under partly sunny skies. East winds pick up this afternoon, gusting to 20 miles an hour. Enough to mess with your hair, not enough to ruin your day. Tonight drops to 48 under clouds. Slide east and you'll find 65 degrees with more sunshine. Lows near 51. Now the coast is a different story this morning. Dense fog is hugging the shoreline. Visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less through 9 A.M. Once that burns off, sunshine takes over and you'll hit 68 degrees. Not bad at all. Folks, one important note. Johnson. Wilkinson. and Washington Counties have a flood warning through Tuesday morning. The Oconee River is cresting near 18.7 feet. If you're near that floodplain, stay alert. Now the week ahead gets interesting. Tuesday the wedge loosens its grip. Temperatures nudge up slightly. Then Wednesday. The lid comes off. Southerly flow kicks in and highs surge into the upper 70s. By Friday and Saturday, parts of Georgia could touch the mid 80s. That's 48 degrees to 48 degrees above normal for early March. Rain chances build Thursday into the weekend as Gulf moisture rolls in. I'll be tracking that warmth and those rain chances all week. Charge your phone, check on the garden. and maybe dust off the shorts. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
