Another arctic blast is headed toward the Southeast, meaning dangerously cold weather for Atlanta, Georgia for the second out of four weeks of the new year.
As to just how cold it’s actually going to get, there is much speculation.
The weather forecast for Atlanta next week suggests that snow is possible, as some forecasts indicate. But on the other hand, frigid temperatures often mean no snow at all.
How Cold Will It Be in Atlanta?
According to the Weather Channel, next Sunday through Wednesday will drop down to below freezing temperatures.
If you have an iPhone, it may show a snowflake icon next to Tuesday, which indicates snow.
But really it only indicates the possibility of snow.
Ed Piotrowski with WABE says weather models are not definitive yet, so there’s no way to tell whether Atlanta will be hit with another winter storm.
Fox 5 Atlanta meteorologist Alex Forbes posted on social media that it’s just too early to know how the weather will shake.
“There is very little reliability in model data, which the app is using, beyond seven days. Even then, we only get confident usually within three days,” he said on X.com. “For the next several days, you are going to see meaningless ice and snow totals for North Georgia tossed around like no tomorrow. Truth be told, there is no guarantee that anything will happen. We had runs yesterday showing exactly that.”
He went on to say: “There is no meteorologist, or human for that matter, touching the forecast data that lives in the Apple Weather app. It is straight computer data that has proven to be maybe the worst on the market,” he said.
“I don’t usually ask you to share posts, but here’s an exception. Most people have this information on their phones this morning. So, please spread the word so that we don’t send the city into chaos and end up with everyone being confused,” he continued.

Will Atlanta be cold? Yes. Is it still winter? Yes.
