Residents across Georgia should brace for snow and freezing rain starting Tuesday morning, with hazardous travel conditions expected into Wednesday.
❄️ What’s Happening: A Winter Storm Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service, with snow expected to begin as early as late Tuesday morning. Areas across central, north-central, and northeast Georgia could see moderate to heavy snowfall, with total accumulations of up to two inches in some places. Light freezing rain and sleet may follow in eastern Georgia early Wednesday morning.
🚗 Why This Matters: The snowfall is expected to create slippery roads, potentially affecting Tuesday evening commutes and Wednesday morning travel. Ice accumulation, although minimal, could worsen road conditions in certain areas. Drivers are urged to plan accordingly and avoid unnecessary travel during peak snowfall.
