Snowfall is becoming more likely later this week in north Georgia, with the heaviest accumulations expected in the mountains.
What’s Happening: Forecasters are growing more confident about snow arriving between Friday and Saturday across the northern part of the state. Current models show the greatest chance for at least one inch of snow in the mountain areas of north Georgia.
In the metro Atlanta region, residents are more likely to see a mix of rain, sleet, and snow rather than significant accumulation.
Why It Matters: Snowfall in Georgia is rare and can quickly disrupt travel, especially in areas not accustomed to icy conditions. Officials are advising residents to monitor forecasts closely and prepare for potential winter weather impacts.
What’s Next: Meteorologists will continue to update forecasts as the system approaches. Residents should check for school and work closures and prepare for possible icy roads.
For the latest updates, keep an eye on local forecasts and advisories throughout the week.
