Georgia – Cold air sits heavy across north and central Georgia this morning, tightening jackets and frosting windshields before sunrise. Skies stay mostly calm for now, but winter weather is quietly lining up as temperatures slide toward the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, confidence is increasing for snowfall across parts of Georgia between Friday evening and Saturday night. Accumulating snow and travel impacts are most likely in eastern Georgia, though there is a one-in-three chance snow reaches the Atlanta metro, including Peachtree City.
Clouds increase Friday as temperatures struggle to warm. A few light showers may develop during the day, then colder air pushes in Friday night. Any lingering moisture could mix with snow as temperatures drop into the mid-20s. Even light snow could cause problems, especially on bridges and untreated roads.
Saturday brings the highest concern. While snowfall chances remain modest, temperatures stay near freezing with highs around 29. Any snow that falls may stick quickly. Flash freezing becomes a real risk as daytime melting refreezes after sunset. Drivers should use caution on local roads and ramps, including portions of Highway 74 and nearby connectors.
Saturday night turns sharply colder. Lows fall into the teens, and wind chills dip even lower. By Sunday, sunshine returns, but cold lingers. Icy patches may persist through the morning before gradual improvement.
Looking ahead, early next week trends drier with moderating temperatures. However, cold mornings continue into February, keeping winter firmly in place across Georgia.
