Yeah, don't expect that to verify, but I find it interesting that its sticking to its guns. However, both the Euro and the GFS show upper teens Friday afternoon, so its not totally crazy.

The image was for 9-10 am not quite the afternoon yet .. ICON does have high in the 13-15 range for Atlanta though which is down right impressive

If it verifies it will colder than the Christmas 83’ record. The high at KATL was 17 on Christmas Day that year. I personally don’t like being out and about in this extreme type of cold, but this will be a phenomenal thing to experience. Never experienced highs in the teens before.

It is really rare to see a temp drop over ne ga and the upstate like those being modeled. Besides the mountains slowing it down,, Normally downslope warming also keeps temps warmer. If temps such as the icon verify, teens in the afternoon in ne ga, sc..it will be exceptionally rare. The euro and Canadian show low 20s in the afternoon which is still very impressive. Truly looks like one of the most impressive cold frontal passages in decades..especially for the upper Savannah River Valley.

What's different than our usual frontal passage in Ga. is the flow will be nearly due west rather than NW. So the downsloping component will be minimized. That also gives me a little hope that any renegade snow showers that get squeezed out behind the front in the lingering low clouds with steep lapse rates make it out my way here to Atlanta's east.

Keep in mind the high temp on Friday will probably be in the 40s in Atlanta at midnight.

I will say what the ICON is showing in terms of the trajectory of the cold air push is very similar to January 1985… basically push south and then east around the mountains cutting back on the downslope. Not saying that it’s depiction is accurate, but it has occurred before

Wow, only a low of 20 for your area, seems warm.
