Georgia Tech Campus Prepares from Winter Weather Threat over Holiday Break

Arriving late Thursday into early Friday morning along with a slight chance of rainfall, the system has the potential to bring with it the coldest air Atlanta has seen in five years, according to the Georgia Tech Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEM). The forecast currently shows a high of 21 for Friday with a low of 10 before the temperature drops once again on Christmas Eve with a high of 28 and a low of 16. Christmas Day sees a slight increase with a high of 34, but with a low of 19, temperatures likely won’t remain above freezing for long. 

The forecast can change at a moment’s notice, so stay tuned to @gtpdalerts and @georgiatech on Twitter and facebook.com/gtemergency and acebook.com/georgiatech for the latest updates. Alerts will also be sent through the Georgia Tech Emergency Notification System (GTENS).

If you notice anything on campus, call the Georgia Tech Police Department at 404.894.2500 or report it through the LiveSafe app.

"Anytime we are talking about temperatures this low, we need to be on the lookout for black ice", Kemp said.
