ATLANTA – Temperatures are set to plunge across north Georgia this week, prompting Atlanta and DeKalb County to activate warming centers for anyone needing a safe place to escape the cold.
The FOX 5 Storm Team says early Tuesday morning temperatures could fall below freezing before climbing to around 50 by midday. Overnight lows will hover just above freezing, and the rest of the workweek will bring lows ranging from the upper 20s to the mid-30s. Areas farther north and those at higher elevations are expected to run several degrees colder.
Officials say the expected stretch of freezing temperatures is the reason multiple municipalities are opening warming shelters.
City of Atlanta
The City of Atlanta will open two warming centers starting Monday night. Officials say the facilities will operate from 8 p.m. Monday, December 8, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, December 9.…
