Mostly sunny, breezy and cooler Thursday

Gusty northwest winds and mostly sunny skies are expected today, with a cooler afternoon than earlier this week. Colder air will move in for the weekend, bringing a hard freeze to the North Georgia mountains and a chance of frost in parts of metro Atlanta, especially Saturday morning. A few high-elevation areas could see a brief flurry late Friday night or early Saturday, but no accumulation or travel problems are expected. The weekend should stay dry, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s; a small rain chance returns early next week.
