Weekend weather forecast

This weekend presents a dramatic case of "weather whiplash" for the region. After a Friday that felt more like summer with record-breaking highs reaching 80°F in cities like Columbus, Athens, and Macon, a powerful cold front is set to roar back. While Saturday begins with scattered showers and potential thunderstorms, the real story is the plummeting temperatures. By Sunday, strong northwest winds will keep highs in the 40s, and by Monday morning, wind chills are expected to dive into the single digits, marking a brutal return to winter.
