Weather Update For Athene And Georgia Regions
Weather observers forecast Wednesday fair and colder for Athene and vicinity with a declining temperature trend. Georgia reports similar conditions with easterly winds in the east and south portions. A northern storm system moves into the upper lakes while a southern system shifts toward the Texas coast, clearing some areas but bringing a cold wave that will lower hog and livestock temperatures. Shipments of perishable goods should be kept cool to prevent spoilage.
