Breezy, cold Monday to start the week

ATLANTA — It's going to be a chilly day Monday across north Georgia with temperatures mainly in the 40s.

Severe Weather Team 2 is tracking when warmer weather arrives, on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4 p.m.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said similar weather can be expected Tuesday as a wedge continues.

By Wednesday, temperatures will be back in the 70s with a slight chance of showers.

"There's a much better chance of rain, and a few storms, Thursday and Friday as a cold front moves through," Monahan said.

The wind will be strong, with 20 to 25 mph winds in the metro area.

The wedge we are in will be slow to break down, meaning it will also be cloudy Tuesday.

The weekend looks clear and sunny with temperatures up to 70 degrees Sunday.
