But one has been issued for tonight and early tomorrow because of that arctic air mass headed this way.
Coupled with the expected brisk winds, we are looking at wind chills tonight and early tomorrow between zero and minus-five... enough to cause health problems if you don't bundle up properly.
SCHOOL TOMORROW?
If you are wondering about school tomorrow, Hall County Schools Supt. Will Schofield said Thursday morning there are no plans to cancel classes.
"Buses will run as scheduled," he said, "but parents are encouraged to exercise caution in making sure their children are kept warm while waiting at the bus stop. If you deem it necessary to keep your children home on those days, we will respect that decision, but school will be in session."
