FIRST ALERT | From First Alert Meteorologist Tim Strong
FIRST ALERT FOR DANGEROUS COLD AND ICY ROADS THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The bitter cold arctic air is expected to last through the workweek. Dangerous wind chills around 15° are expected again Thursday morning.
We have a First Alert Weather Day through today for the dangerously cold temperatures. Even though snow totals did not set records, it will create very dangerous travel across the CSRA as long as Thursday morning.
Roads will stay slick most of today - we will likely only see a few hours just above the freezing mark in the afternoon with highs in the mid-30s. This will not be enough time for the roadways to thaw out. Any snow/ice that does melt will refreeze overnight making Thursday morning travel potentially dangerous as well. A FIRST ALERT has been issued for dangerously cold temperatures Thursday morning with the chance of refreezing/black ice on roadways.
Let your faucets drip to avoid plumbing malfunctions and prepare for disruptions to travel the next 48 hours.
Mostly sunny Friday with morning lows bitterly cold in the low 20s and afternoon highs in the upper 40s.
The weekend stays cold in the morning with lows in the low to mid-20s, but highs will get warmer - upper 40s Saturday, mid-50s Sunday. Keep it here for the latest updates!
