Clouds arrived Wednesday afternoon ahead of a cold front, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said. That brings a slight chance for showers in North Georgia.

Currently, the temperature is 52 degrees in Atlanta. The city didn’t hit the average high of 64 for this time of year, Channel 2 reported.
