Hard freeze threat approaches North Georgia

As of Thursday afternoon, FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Marquise Meda is tracking an approaching cold surge set to bring a developing freeze threat and the coldest air in nearly eight months to metro Atlanta and north Georgia. Following mild afternoon temperatures near 64 degrees and an active Freeze Watch issued by the National Weather Service, an approaching frontal boundary will bring a chance for a Thursday night shower in Blairsville before driving overnight lows into the 40s and 30s.
