One of those deeper valley's around Elk Park or similar will probably hit it tonight for sure.

So winters gonna be April 7, instead of April 28th?

 

[Bham 99]

Going with a strong cold front coming into the SE on the 14th. First to get the cold will be Nashville down to Birmingham; then Atlanta on the 15th; then Greenville to Charlotte to Raleigh on the 16th (..as the high build in). Dallas will have to wait until a new trough drops down after the first of November. Then Columbia after the trough gets back to the SE. **lol, feel like the Farmers Almanac

 

[NoSnowATL]

Atlanta avg 1st freeze is November 13th.

 

[LickWx]

Atlanta avg 1st freeze is November 13th.

Atlanta has gotten like 10 freezes total last 5 years combined ( over exaggeration but pretty damn close).

 

[J.C.]

Its true, Atlanta’s winter temps are closer to the averages of Portland or San Francisco over the past several years. With the amount of rain, influence from the gulf, and UHI, our winters are closer to maritime ??

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Atlanta - 11/7
Birmingham - 11/7
Nashville - 11/6
Dallas - 11/13
Charlotte - 11/7
Greenville, SC - 4/19
Columbia - 11/19
Raleigh - 11/7

But Portland's winters are on average cooler than Atlanta's. Portland's average January high is 47.

 

[Bham 99]

But Portland's winters are on average cooler than Atlanta's. Portland's average January high is 47.

I wonder how many freezing nights in a winter happen in Portland..

 

[J.C.]

But Portland's winters are on average cooler than Atlanta's. Portland's average January high is 47.

I know, I was mostly joking, but looking at the average temperature of both highs and lows together, and the fact Portland’s average low is never below freezing.

Portland:42
Atlanta:43

 

[J.C.]

Bump, but seriously, are there any major cities that we can take off of this list yet? It may be December for most.

Charlotte is off , Raleigh barely hung on. New predictions ! Not sure what other cities are off , Dallas ? Nashville is off too, perhaps Chattanooga ?

 

[SWVAwxfan]

I believe Columbia SC hit 32 a few mornings ago.

 

[J.C.]

I had no idea Atlanta's latest freeze was this late:
