Georgia Weather 3/7 Morning - Fog Then Sizzle

Good morning. Georgia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and it feels more like late April, doesn't it? We bottomed out at a balmy 62 degrees overnight—that's **43 degrees above normal** for early March. Summer is getting a head start, folks. But watch your commute if you're near the coast. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until **9 A.M.** Visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less. If you're driving early, slow down and use those low beams. Once that fog lifts. Metro Atlanta heats up fast. Here comes a high of **81 degrees** under mostly sunny skies. Just keep an eye on the sky after **1 P.M.**—a slight chance of thunderstorms rolls in. The real action happens tonight though. Storm coverage jumps to likely between **8 P.M.** and midnight. Some could pack heavy rain and gusty winds. Tonight's low only drops to 63 degrees, but expect another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain by morning. Down along the coast, the mist burns off to reveal **83 degrees** and sunshine. The south breeze stays light, making it perfect for a walk near the water—just watch that humidity. Tonight, you dip to 63 degrees with partly cloudy skies. You might see a stray shower, but you stay mostly dry compared to Atlanta. Over in eastern Georgia, you're splitting the difference. You hit **84 degrees** today after the morning fog clears. A brief shower passes around midnight, but Sunday turns wetter with scattered showers likely and highs near 82. We stay locked in this summer-like pattern through Wednesday—highs in the low to mid-80s statewide. That's a solid **43 degrees warmer** than usual. Daily rounds of storms are likely, especially Monday and Tuesday. Then everything changes Thursday. A cold front drops us back to the mid-60s, finally giving us a taste of actual March. By Friday, we see sunshine and 65 degrees—right where we should be. Pollen is climbing today, so you might want to grab the allergy meds before you head out. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
