ATLANTA, Ga. — A light band of snow is moving toward the Atlanta metro area this afternoon as a strong cold front sweeps across North Georgia, bringing early winter conditions and the possibility of slick roads in higher elevations.
Meteorologist Chris Nunley reported that light snow was observed approaching the city around 3:00 p.m. EST, spreading southeast from Calhoun, Rome, and Canton toward Roswell, Sandy Springs, and downtown Atlanta.
Early Snowfall Spotted on Radar
Radar imagery shows light-to-moderate snow showers pushing through the northwest corridor of Georgia, with flakes already falling in areas such as Adairsville, Douglasville, and South Fulton. Arrows on Nunley’s radar update indicate the snow is moving directly toward the metro region, carried by cold northwesterly winds.
While accumulation is not expected to be significant, the system marks one of the earliest snow events of the season for metro Atlanta.
Possible Impacts and Travel Advisory
Forecasters say most of the snow will be light and short-lived, though some flurries and minor dusting could occur north of the city, particularly in elevated areas like Cherokee, Bartow, and Forsyth Counties…
