…LIGHT WINTER PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT OVER FAR NORTH GEORGIA…

A storm system will move across the Mid-South and Tennessee

valley bringing rain and winter precipitation to parts of far

north Georgia on Thursday and Thursday night.

As the precipitation begins Thursday morning over northwest

Georgia, it may fall as a mixture of rain, freezing rain, sleet

and/or snow, spreading east, before changing to mostly rain by

midday. As colder air moves back in later Thursday afternoon and

evening, the rain may change to snow with some light accumulations possible in higher elevations.

It is too soon to determine exact amounts and locations but if all

the ingredients come together there could be up to an inch of

snow at elevations above 1500 feet by early Friday morning.

Temperatures are expected to be cold on Friday with readings

staying in the 30s all day in north Georgia and 40s elsewhere.
