Shower and thunderstorm chances are increasing through the weekend as Gulf moisture funnels back into the area. Expect higher total accumulations over the north and western areas with lesser amounts expected elsewhere.

There are +CG lightning strikes occurring outside the rain base of the storm system. These strike can cause fires due to dry conditions. Be alert and be aware! #gawx

⚠️ (1/2) As our previous post discussed, all of north GA and a portion of central GA are under a Winter Storm WATCH ahead of the winter storm expected early Friday AM through early Saturday AM. Be prepared to adjust travel plans due to likely hazardous driving conditions. #gawx

‼️7 PM Wed (1/8) Update
🌨️Winter Storm Watch has been expanded south/east and remains in effect from 7 AM Friday until 7 AM Saturday.
⚠️Significant accumulations of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will lead to hazardous travel conditions and the potential for power outages. #gawx

[NWS Atlanta @NWSAtlanta]

(1/2) There is increasing likelihood of impactful winter weather Friday, with accumulations of snow, sleet and freezing rain. This graphic shows the probability of seeing at least 2 inches of snow accumulation. Expect hazardous travel conditions to begin Friday morning. #gawx

[NWS Atlanta @NWSAtlanta]

(1/2) We've posted graphics the last two days that show the odds of 0.10" of ice accumulation (which, while it doesn't sound like a lot, would have adverse impacts on roads and power lines) and 1" of snow accumulation. Here's another way to visualize the current forecast. #gawx

[NWS Atlanta @NWSAtlanta]

The wind advisory has been expanded to include all of north and central GA, beginning 4am Monday morning, and extended through 7am Tuesday morning. Gusty winds of 35+mph are possible through the entire period. #gawx
