Above is what to expect coast to coast Wednesday and on Thanksgiving. There could be some thunderstorms some strong to severe across much of the Mid-South and parts of the southeast Wednesday into Wednesday evening and night especially across parts of Alabama, middle and western Tennessee, Mississippi, Illinois, parts of Kentucky and even parts of far west and northwest Georgia Wednesday PM. The main threat will be some stronger potentially damaging wind gusts, lightning, thunder and locally heavy rainfall. The tornado threat is very low but not zero. Most of Wednesday will be calm in Georgia but the late afternoon and evening hours could be a bit more active especially for areas along the Georgia/Alabama state line. Thanksgiving day most of the rain will move out of Metro Atlanta and north Georgia by the later part of the morning and especially by the afternoon with temperatures rising through the 60's and into the low 70's by the late afternoon hours. Enjoy the mild weather while it lasts. After more rain and possible storms Sunday evening and night major cold weather arrives next week. The coldest air since last Winter arrives Tuesday for much of the eastern and southern US including much of Georgia and Alabama with high temperatures in the 40's and 50's and morning low temperatures in the middle and upper 20's. A hard freeze is very likely next week for much of the eastern and parts of the southern United States.
