Expect things to be breezy as well with wind from the west-southwest flowing at 7-12 mph with gusts upwards of 20 mph.

Friday and Beyond

The first taste of winter arrives going into this weekend as powerful northwesterly winds will likely keep real feels in the low to mid 50s Friday afternoon, even under the sun! Overnight lows Friday and Saturday are likely to flirt with the freezing point if not drop below it in a few spots as well! The wind will remain rather active into early next week as below average highs and lows continue around Middle Georgia.
