ATLANTA — Temperatures for parts of the metro could dip into the lowers 20s and upper 30s below freezing temperatures overnight Monday.

A freeze warning has been expanded to include portions of West Metro extending to North Metro.

The metro will be facing some of the coldest temperatures since mid-March.

Severe Weather Team 2 is tracking when metro Atlanta could see the first freeze of the year, on Channel 2 Action News. 

Most of metro Atlanta woke up Sunday to the coldest air of the season.

It was the coldest morning since St. Patrick's Day, Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said.

Parts of northern Georgia mountains received snow flurries early Sunday.

“For today, expect cloud cover to gradually thin a bit, but overall, a partly to mostly cloudy sky,” Monahan said.

A wind advisory remains in effect through early Sunday evening. Monahan said just about everyone will stay in the 40s for highs. '

The record low maximum in Atlanta is 44 set in 1910.

Under a clearing sky Sunday night – and with less wind – temperatures will fall into the 30s, with some upper 20s in the mountains.

“There’s a freeze watch in our northwest metro counties, with a freeze warning in the mountains. In the city, I do expect some patchy frost to start the day tomorrow. Expect lows generally in the mid to low 30s,” Monahan said.
