Peachtree City, GA – Drivers across parts of central Georgia are urged to slow down Sunday as a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through early afternoon, bringing wet snow and slippery travel conditions to several counties.
According to the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, a Winter Storm Warning continues until 1 p.m. EST Sunday for Dodge, Laurens, and Wilcox counties, including the cities of Abbeville, Dublin, and Eastman. The alert was reaffirmed in an update issued at 11:31 a.m. EST.
Forecasters say heavy wet snow is ongoing, with additional accumulations of less than one-half inch possible before the system exits the region. While snowfall totals are expected to remain relatively light, the timing and moisture content of the snow increase the risk for slick and hazardous road conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces.
The weather system is affecting a broad area of central Georgia, roughly southeast of Macon and north of the coastal plain, during a busy late-morning and early-afternoon travel window. Officials caution that even small amounts of snow can significantly impact travel in areas not accustomed to winter weather.
The National Weather Service advises residents to limit travel if possible. Those who must be on the road are encouraged to keep extra food, water, and a flashlight in their vehicle in case of delays or emergencies. Motorists can check the latest road conditions by dialing 511 for Georgia traffic updates.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve later Sunday afternoon as precipitation tapers off and temperatures stabilize.
