Get ready for a cold start to the week.
Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s Monday morning in many metro Atlanta areas.

Then we'll warm up quickly to highs in the 70s most of the week, one day even near 80°!

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.
WIND ADVISORY: Strong winds with gusts to 35 mph possible today. Some gusts to 40 mph possible in the higher elevations in far north Georgia. Use caution driving. Wind could bring down trees and branches. pic.twitter.com/4uorRd3BJ5

Tuesday will also start with temperatures in the 30s like Monday.
Then, yet another warmup will arrive.
Warming trend is coming -- we'll be back in the low 80s by Wednesday! Quick shot of cold coming through now @wsbtv

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.
Heavy rain knocked the pollen count back into the high range.

With dry weather this week I expect we'll see that climb again. pic.twitter.com/cISCxQYEVh
