IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS. YOU

OUT THERE, IT JUST GOES RIGHT

THROUGH

JONATHAN: YOU JUST THIS

ERIC: STORY.

ERIC: IT

JONATHAN: YOU

JONATHAN: CAN'T GET USED TO

IT. AND IF YOU ARE OUT AND ABOUT

ANY TIME TONIGHT, GOING INTO

CHRISTMAS DAY TOMORROW, YOU'RE

SAME. WE'RE GOING TO DROP BACK

DOWN IN SOME CASES INTO THE

SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE

MOUNTAINS. MOST OF US ARE GOING

TO STAKE OUT IN THE TEAMS, BUT

THE WIND CHILL IS GOING TO STILL

BE AN ISSUE NOW THE WINDS IN

COMPARISON TO WHAT THEY WERE 48

HOURS AGO IN THE TWENTIES.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE THERE

TONIGHT. WE'RE LOOKING AT A WIND

THIS TIME, THIS WIND COMING OUT

OF THE WEST NORTHWEST. IT'S A

COLD, CHILLY WIND, ADDING INSULT

TO INJURY TO THAT 22 DEGREE

12 WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE WIND

CHILL. LET'S CHECK OUT THE

ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES IN YOUR

NEIGHBORHOOD TONIGHT. WE HAD A

FEW CLOUDS SLIDE THROUGH, BUT

CLEAR SKIES DO BRAIN WORKS. 16

BRIDGE. 19 THERE IN CANADA.

YOU'VE ALREADY DROPPED DOWN TO

19 IN CARROLLTON. ELSEWHERE

YOU'RE HANGING OUT SOMEWHERE

BETWEEN 20 DEGREES IN

GAINESVILLE AND 28 DOWN THERE IN

TEMPERATURE OFFICIALLY AT

ATLANTA'S HARTSFIELD JACKSON

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 27

DEGREES. WE STARTED OUT WITH A

TEMPERATURE OF EIGHT DEGREES. I

KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK

ABOUT THIS, BUT IS THIS A RECORD

BREAKER? NO. THIS IS NOT A

RECORD BREAKER. THE RECORD WAS

SET BACK IN 1983 OF THREE

THAN THIS BEFORE. BUT THIS IS

STILL A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM SOME

OF THE COLDEST AIR THAT WE'VE

SEEN ABOUT AREA IN NEARLY A

DECADE, AND WE'RE NOT DONE YET.

SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR

YOU'RE IN ADAIRSVILLE, YOU'RE 14

SENATOR BRING. BUT THERE IS MORE

COLD AIR WITH THE BREATH OF WIND

TAKING US INTO SUNDAY MORNING

THAT 19 DEGREES THAT YOU SEE IN

YOUR CAR THERMOMETER WILL FEEL

TRY TO SHAKE OFF THE CHILL BUT

WILL BARELY DO IT BY NOON. WE'RE

AT 30 DEGREES WITH PLENTY OF

SUNSHINE. I DO THINK WE WILL

STEP OUT OF THE FREEZING ZONE.

BACK DOWN. SO TOMORROW'S HIGH

HERE IN ATLANTA IS ABOUT

FREEZING. WE'LL GO WITH 37

DEGREES. YOU'LL MAKE IT ABOUT

FREEZING THERE IN CALHOUN AT 35

DEGREES 36 0 MCDONALD'S MILAN,

THE YEAR 55 DEGREES. WE'RE GOING

TOLD YOU WARM UP IS COMING, BUT

TOMORROW IS THE COLDEST DAY OF

THE WEEK TO COME, WILL BEGIN TO

SHAKE OFF THE TILL BY MONDAY.

COLD STILL BELOW AVERAGE

FINALLY HIT 50 AND SURPASSED 50

AND BACKED BY WEDNESDAY AND THEN

IT'S JUST LIKE WE TAKE OFF. LOOK

AT THIS BOUNCE BACK 61 63 64

THAT SHOULD JUST MAKE YOU FEEL

WARMER BY SEEING AND HEARING

THESE WARMER TEMPERATURES.

WINTER CAME IN WITH A STRONG

PLANTS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO

DEFINITELY FIGHT BACK BECAUSE WE

GET INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT

WEEK. BUT FIRST THERE IS ONE

THING I DO NEED TO MENTION YOU

COULD GET A PASSING FLURRY OR

TWO MONDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MONDAY

AFTERNOON. EVEN MONDAY OVERNIGHT

, WE HAVE A WAY THAT'S GOING TO

ROLL RIGHT ACROSS THE TENNESSEE

VALLEY, AND AS IT MOVES OVER THE

HIGHER ELEVATIONS, IT MAY WANT

TO TRY TO CRANK OUT A LITTLE BIT

OF WHITE STUFF. NONETHELESS IT

WILL NOT ACCUMULATE. OTHER THAN

THAT WE HAVE NO WEATHER WOES OR

THE WEEK TO COME, WILL WARM UP

AND THEN WE'LL INTRODUCE SOME

RAIN AS WE GET INTO THE LATTER

PART OF THE WORK WEEK FRIDAY

INTO CHRISTMAS EVE. SO IF YOU DO

HAVE SOME CHRISTMAS EVE

FESTIVITIES, DON'T CANCEL THEM.

DON'T CHANGE THEM JUST YET, BUT

I AM PINPOINTING. SOURS AND

POTENTIALLY THUNDERSTORMS BY

THIS TIME NEXT WEEK,

ERIC: ERIC ROLLERCOASTER OF

TEMPERATURES THE NEXT WEEK,
