.DISCUSSION...

Saturday, strengthening low pressure over the Georgia coastal
waters will bring breezy westerly winds 15-25 mph with gusts to
30-35 mph from morning into afternoon hours with a low chance of
showers towards sunset. Windy conditions arrive Saturday evening
as the low strengthens further and strong high pressure builds to
the northwest with winds becoming northwesterly 20-30 mph and
gusting to 35-45 mph. Colder air arriving after sunset will bring
isolated brief show showers or flurries before ending by midnight,
but not expecting snow accumulations.

With temperatures falling quickly below freezing Saturday night
as skies clear there will be a potential for patchy black ice from
earlier light showers, especially on bridges and elevated surfaces,
however any precipitation totals (rain or snow) will be very light.

Very cold temperatures and wind chills will push into the region
with lows falling into the low 20s and wind chills lowering to
5-10 degrees. Winds from the northwest will remain breezy 15-25 mph
with gusts to 30 mph as temperatures struggle to reach the low
40s Sunday afternoon despite sunny skies due to the arctic airmass
as high pressure builds from the west.
