Today’s Weather Authority Forecast: December 22, 2022
Happy Thursday! The arctic front plows through overnight through early tomorrow morning. Any rain showers should come to an end, but cannot rule out some areas of freezing drizzle and even patchy black ice on area roads and bridges, so drive careful as you’re making those last minute holiday errands!
A wind chill advisory includes all of the viewing area, and a hard freeze watch, which will likely be upgraded to a warning will be in effect through Sunday morning.
Wind chill factors tank into the middle teens on Friday, and between 0-15 on Christmas Eve. These are considered dangerous wind chill factors, and frostbite or even hypothermia could set in within 30 minutes if exposed skin isn’t covered up.
It’ll be the coldest Christmas in years for SWGA! Not since the late 1980’s has it been this cold.
Make preparations now for the dangerously cold weather!
The good news is that the dangerously cold readings will only last a day or two, but still sub-freezing temperatures the days following Christmas before a gradual warm-up ensues heading towards
New Year’s.
