Tonight expect a lovely cool down into the upper 50s. We expect some sea fog to develop, especially off of the coastline of the Golden Isles. We may wake up to patchy fog in our coastal counties as a result, otherwise expect clear skies.

Friday night the winds of change begin to blow, and they pick up overnight. Expect increasing clouds and temperatures in the low 50s.
Saturday will be cloudy, windy, and chilly with Nor'Easter conditions headed our way. Temperatures will hover in the low 60s at their warmest, with northeasterly winds between 15-20mph and gusts as high as 30 mph. Expect mostly cloudy skies and an isolated coastal shower is possible.
Sunday isn't much better- a little less wind (easterly 10-15mph) but better chances for showers, especially later in the day into the overnight hours. Sunday will be cool, only topping out in the mid 60s under mostly cloudy skies with 50% chances for showers.
Monday warms up, but doesn't dry up. Expect 40% chances for showers and afternoon highs climbing into the mid 70s. Partly cloudy skies and lighter winds aid in our warm up.
