Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi Wake to Mild 40s and 50s as Early December Brings Rare Calm Across the South
GEORGIA — A rare stretch of calm winter weather is setting in across the Southern United States, with Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi waking up to mild 40s and 50s early Monday morning. Forecasters are calling it one of the quietest starts to December in recent memory — a refreshing change from the typical rollercoaster of cold snaps and storms.
Comfortable Start to the Day Across the Deep South
Meteorologists say temperatures across central and northern Georgia, eastern Alabama, and southern Mississippi will hover around the mid-40s to upper 50s at sunrise. The stable air mass is keeping humidity in check and skies mostly clear, offering residents a pleasant start to the new week.
Unlike many early-December mornings, there’s no sign of arctic air plunges or storm systems disrupting the region. “This is the weather equivalent of a deep breath,” one forecaster joked. “Not cold, not hot, just perfectly normal.”
Midwest Sees Typical Early-Winter Chill
Further north, parts of the Midwest and Central Plains — including Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois — are holding steady in the 20s and low 30s, typical for this time of year. Though these readings sound chilly, meteorologists stress that the air mass isn’t part of a deep freeze or major winter front.
The overall weather pattern shows no severe systems developing in the next 48 hours, keeping both the South and lower Midwest in a zone of rare early-winter calm.
Forecast Outlook: Tranquility Before the Next Shift
Forecasters warn that this tranquil pattern won’t last forever. Cooler air building over the Rockies and Canada could bring colder conditions later in the week, especially for parts of the Southern Plains and Midwest.
For now, though, residents across Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi can enjoy a brief pause from December’s typical turbulence. Morning commuters are advised to grab a light jacket, sip their coffee, and take in the comfortable temperatures and clear skies while they last.
