High of 75 at 4:39pm. .29" from the front. 

[suzook]

Just picked up an inch of rain in 45 mins with the line moving through. Another beneficial rain for us.

[GaWx]

85.2 at 1:54 PM. Highest I saw yesterday 84.7.

 The spring….well, practically summer…wx the last 2 days here (85 and 86 record highs at KSAV, which both exceeded forecasts of lower 80s) is about to come to a very welcomed abrupt end. After also a possible record high minimum for today (won’t know til midnight…edit: it turned out to be record high low of 65), the high on Mon may be close to 40 colder and the low on Tue will be close to 40 colder with it flirting with the record 25! So, pseudo-summer record highs to mid-winter conditions/near record lows in the span of just 48 hours! It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this in the temperature swing dept and is the main reason winter is the most interesting season to track. Rarely a dull moment.

Early morning high of 64, low is our current temp of 51. Picked up a measly .04".

[Coach McGuirk]

37.0 degrees here, way cooler than forecasted.  As for the snow, we shall see.  Could be an inch or more.

Missed posting this day of, but consecutive record highs in ATL. Held since 1891. Impressive.

Went from 37.0 to 40.1.  Going in the wrong direction.

[Coach McGuirk]

Just barely in a winter storm warning for 2-4 inches of snow. 

[Coach McGuirk]

41.0 and rain, not liking the temp and saturation.

Your 41 and rain matches the model consensus well. It shows you may not fall below 40 til midafternoon with snow starting during the evening.

The model consensus has been suggesting you may bottom out just above 32 but still with snow accumulating, especially on nonpaved surfaces, starting ~4-6PM.
