ATLANTA (AP) -- A blast of wintry weather is expected to dive south into Georgia, dropping temperatures into the 20s in parts of north Georgia.<br />
<br />
The National Weather Service projects low temperatures Friday and Saturday morning from the mid-20s to lower 30s in north Georgia; and from the upper 20s to upper 30s in central Georgia.<br />
<br />
Daytime highs Friday are expected to be in the 40s and 50s across much of the state.<br />
<br />
The weather service said the coldest temperatures are expected after a cold front moves across Georgia on Wednesday.<br />

It is part of a larger system that brought wintry weather to parts of the Rockies and Upper Midwest Monday, leaving a foot of snow in some areas.<br />
<br />
Mild temperatures were expected Tuesday, with a high in Atlanta of around 72 degrees.
