According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, below normal temperatures are expected throughout the week and weekend, warming up by Monday, Jan. 13.
Abundant sunshine will give way to rain, snow, freezing rain and ice across Georgia on Jan. 10 to Jan. 11, which could impact travel.
Temperatures for North Georgia will range from the mid 20s to the low 40s, with temps across the southern part of the state, including Coastal Georgia, rising from the upper 20s to the mid 50s.
“A low pressure system is likely to bring accumulating wintry precipitation to portions of the area Friday through Saturday morning,” the forecast reads. “While uncertainty remains regarding precipitation type and accumulation amounts, impacts to travel would be expected during this time, especially in North Georgia.”
Dylan Lusk is a meteorologist with NWS.
“This far out, the details are still kind of fuzzy,” he told GPB. “When we talk about winter precipitation in Georgia, literally one degree in temperature makes a huge difference…. But we’re pretty confident at this point that we’re going to see, especially in northern Georgia, some kind of winter weather. It’s looking at this time like there’s a decent chance that will be snow across the north. Exactly how much remains to be seen.”
He said the confidence of winter weather is lower for areas south of I-20, but to still be aware that winter weather could happen.
This is a developing story.
