Late this week in Atlanta will be sunny with temperatures in the mid-40s F; however, cold north winds will make the AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature be significantly lower in the mid-20s, according to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Maggie Samuhel.

"The winds die down on Friday, so even though the temperatures remain constantly in the mid-40s, it will feel significantly warmer heading into the weekend," Samuhel said.
Saturday is actually expected to see a brief warming period with temperatures hovering in the mid-50s. However, that warming is just a teaser before cold winds pick up again on Sunday.
Sunshine will persist throughout the day on Sunday, but temperatures will hover around the 40-degree mark at the absolute highest, according to Samuhel.

"The good news is that it is going to be a fast cold that comes in strong on Sunday and quickly leaves, bringing nice weather on Monday," Samuhel said.
Early next week is set to bring temperatures in the low 50s and sunshine.
