Chilly, windy weather ahead of another warmup

Get ready for a cold start to the week.

Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s Monday morning in many metro Atlanta areas.

Severe Weather Team 2 is tracking cold temperatures in your area and how long they will last for updates on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4 p.m.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Karen Minton said during Channel 2 Action News This Morning that even though temperatures were in the 40s in most of metro Atlanta, it didn't feel that way.

"It feels like it's in the lower to mid-30s just about everywhere," Minton said.

That's because of the wind.

A wind advisory is in effect until 10 p.m. Monday.

There is also a freeze watch for northeast Georgia Monday night, when temperatures will fall to lows between 30 to 32 degrees, Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brad Nitz said.

Tuesday will also start with temperatures in the 30s like Monday.

Then, yet another warmup will arrive.

Rain late Saturday night into Sunday morning brought a cold front behind it.

A benefit of the rain was the record-breaking pollen count slicing in half in a few days.

However, it is likely to climb again in the coming days as it warms up.
