North Georgia woke up to cooler temperatures Tuesday than the day before, but the region should warm up considerably now that the sun is up, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Some spots in the mountains started in the 30s, while Atlanta started in the 40s and is warming into the 50s, the news station reported. Temperatures across North Georgia were 5 to 16 degrees cooler than Monday morning, Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton said.

“We're starting out a little chilly,” she said. “ ... Pull on that jacket before you head on out.”

With plenty of sunshine on tap for Tuesday, Minton said metro Atlanta can expect a nice increase in temperatures.

“High pressure is in place,” she said.  “It is going to keep us dry for today, and warm, too, with many areas rising into the lower 70s this afternoon.”

More dry, warm weather is expected Wednesday for Halloween with a high of 76 degrees. When most trick-or-treaters begin their candy grab about 7 p.m., Minton expects temperatures to be in the lower 70s. By 9 p.m., temperatures should still be in the upper 60s.

“It’s going to be nice for us during the day tomorrow for Halloween, although clouds will begin to increase as we go through Wednesday,” she said.

Minton said a “weather-maker” cold front is on its way to the state and is expected to bring showers and some storms Thursday. The models are still changing, she said, so the timing of the rain is still uncertain.
