One week ago, Atlanta enjoyed a record-breaking high of 76, and temperatures reached the upper 70s through mid-week.

Today's temperatures, by comparison, will peak in the mid-50s, though it should be sunny and clear, Darbe said. Rain could return by Thursday, and a cooling down is expected to follow. The Weather Service reported that Atlanta had .91 of an inch of rain in the 24-hour period ending at 7 a.m. Sunday. Despite the precipitation, the Weather Service said 2007 is still on track to be the driest year on record in Atlanta.

With fewer than three weeks left in the year, Atlanta would need 4.55 inches of rain to avoid breaking the record low annual rainfall of 31.80 inches set in 1954. the trailer's walls and roof, Lyles said, but the man was unhurt. "It just left him, the recliner and the floor," Lyles said. Weather Service meteorologist Trisha Palmer said the Treutlen County man had gotten the tornado warning and was readying to go to a friend's house for shelter. "He was putting on his shoes, taking his time, and the tornado hit," she said.

"He didn't have a scratch. One lucky guy." The Weather Service is still investigating the tornadoes, Darbe said. Wintry weather elsewhere across the country caused departure delays of up to two hours Sunday night for travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The FAA said Hartsfield itself was experiencing delays in departures and arrivals of 15 minutes or less, but flights to New York and Newark, were being delayed one to two hours because of snow removal problems at those airports. At the same time icy con -ditions in Illinois delayed flights from Atlanta to Chicago by about 45 minutes, the FAA's Web site showed.

By STEVE VISSER svisserajc.com The December heat wave is officially over, and normal winter weather has arrived in metro Atlanta.

A cold front pushing through Georgia should ensure nighttime temperatures drop into the 20s and 30s most of this week, with daytime highs in the 50s, said Dan Darbe of the National Weather Service. Sunday's high was 46 degrees at 4:13 a.m., he said. Thermometer readings then fell and stayed in the 30s most of the day. "The temperature just started dropping after the front came through," Darbe said. "The clouds moved in, and they kept that cold air blanketed." Conditions were much worse in Middle Georgia, where the Weather Service confirmed two tornado touchdowns overnight one in Treutlen County, and another in Dodge County, Darbe said.

The twisters did minimal damage except in Lothair, where a man tried riding out a tornado by sitting in a recliner in his mobile home, said Treutlen County Sheriff Deputy Tony Lyles.
