Just when we thought we were in the clear. Just when we thought that winter was a distant memory and that warm weather was here to stay… **sigh**…There is a polar vortex that’ll be hitting the east coast of the country this weekend and unfortunately, Georgia will be in the crosshairs. While Georgia is extremely lucky to not be one of those states that will be severely impacted by the polar vortex, we won’t escape unscathed. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for this weekend with the polar vortex coming to Georgia.

This weekend, a blast of Arctic air is set to sweep the eastern and midwestern parts of the country, bringing freezing, frigid winter air all over.

This polar vortex, according to the National Weather Service, will lead to snow in many states, plus record-low temperatures that are not often seen in May months.

In case you need a little side-by-side comparison — it’ll be warmer in Fairbanks, Alaska than in New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and as far as Atlanta.

While average temperatures for this time would normally be in the 70s, sometimes 80s, this vortex is going to bring temps of around 50 degrees in many eastern states.

But don’t worry about any major changes long-term — as quickly as the polar vortex has moved in, it will likely be disappearing by early next week.
