ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A potential winter storm is expected late Saturday through Sunday, bringing the possibility of snow to north and central Georgia. Sunday is a First Alert Weather Day for cold, breezy conditions and potential winter weather.
Here’s what we’re tracking:
A shortwave trough will dive across the Great Plains and track through the Southeast U.S. late Saturday into Sunday. The exact location of this track — along with its speed and strength — will determine where winter weather impacts occur.
The challenge: Model guidance is split. Some models track the system further north, while others track it further south. This difference of just a few miles could mean the difference between snow or dry weather for your area.
Where will it snow in Georgia:
Areas along and north of the system’s track will see all snow with possible accumulating snow and travel impacts.
If the system tracks further north, accumulating snow could stretch from central Georgia up through the I-20/I-85 corridor, including the Atlanta metro area. If it tracks further south, snow would be confined to a line from Columbus to Macon, while north Georgia would remain dry.
