Biggest Weather Concerns: Sudden Drop in Temperatures & Slick Roads
The biggest weather shift happens on Thursday night, when temperatures fall sharply into the mid-30s. If you’re used to the milder weather earlier in the week, this drop is going to feel brutal. Make sure you have warm clothing ready because morning commutes on Friday will be chilly. Also, with rain scattered throughout the week, roads could become slick, especially during early morning and evening commutes. Drivers should be extra cautious, reduce speed, and leave plenty of space between cars.
How to Stay Safe and Comfortable This Week
- Check the Forecast Daily: With so many changes happening, it’s important to stay updated on the latest conditions so you’re not caught unprepared.
- Dress in Layers: Early in the week, a light jacket may be enough, but by Thursday night, you’ll want heavier winter clothes.
- Drive Carefully: Wet roads + dropping temperatures = a higher chance of accidents. Slow down and stay alert.
- Protect Plants & Pets: If you have outdoor plants that can’t handle the cold, bring them inside before Thursday night. Also, keep pets indoors when temperatures drop.
This is one of those weeks where you’ll need to be prepared for anything. Clouds, showers, warm temperatures, and then a sharp cold snap—it’s all coming to Fulton County. If you plan, you can stay comfortable and avoid any surprises. Stay warm, stay dry, and stay safe!
