.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

It's a very murky and gray afternoon as a CAD wedge remains
entrenched at the surface across north Georgia. As usual, the wedge
has been slow to erode from southwest to northeast, but the wedge
front will make gradual northward progress from this evening into
tonight. Thus, temperatures will be on a non-diurnal warming trend
overnight, gradually warming across north Georgia as the dammed
surface airmass erodes through Saturday morning. Within this regime,
low clouds and patchy fog can be expected through the overnight
hours with a few overrunning light rain showers as well, mainly
north of the warm front in north Georgia.

Your forecast low tonight is 60 which is warmer than your current temp !

I'm always confused by why the NWS does this. I'm assuming that their "low" will be anticipated at 11:59 am. They should make "night" start at sundown and then give the lowest recorded at that time. CAD is often slower to diminish than forecast around here.

Probably the first time I've seen the eps mean with a high in the 40s in the long term in a while

God bless Texas...

If I wanted to wear shorts in December I'd live in Miami ?

At least it did unexpectedly rain a little earlier

Likewise, I hate it when a late night cold front passage means the high occurred at midnight. So misleading when looking back at daily highs and lows.? JMO.

And if I wanted accumulating snow or below zero temps, I'd live in Minnesota.

Can't have everything we want.

That's alright enjoy it because we all know it won't last

Fort Worth already hinting

Eventually it does look like some colder air
will make a surge southward with some rain chances, it may just be
delayed beyond the current 7 day forecast period.

You almost can, if you live about 3-4000 feet in the NC mountains
