**WINTER WEATHER ALERT**

Good Monday evening,
As I mentioned on Saturday, we are going to see a system around Thanksgiving. It si very likely now that we will see winter weather. In fact, there is a Winter Weather Advisory and a Freezing Rain Advisory out for portions of North Georgia. The advisories are for tonight, because there will be a lot of sleet in North Georgia and definitely some ice accumulations up to 0.1 inch. in the higher elevations above 2000 feet.
For tomorrow, we have a Flood Watch in effect, because a lot of North Georgia will see 3-4 inches of rain. We  may see flash flooding too. Eventually, this will start turning to snow tomorrow night, so I am expecting a new Winter Weather Advisory issued tomorrow. Areas above 2000 feet will change to snow tomorrow night earliest, and eventually by the late night/early morning hours, all of North Georgia will be seeing snow showers. Although rural areas and low-elevation areas will see minimal accumulations of up to a trace, areas above 2000 feet will likely see between 0.5 and 1.5 inches of snow. I will have a snow map out tomorrow. After the system exits, it will be very windy and cold for Wednesday, with highs in the 30s and 40s for much of Georgia. This cold air will continue into Thanksgiving Day, with highs staying in the 40s and low 50s.
Meanwhile, here is a map of the current advisories/watches across Georgia.

Weak Storms Popping Up

Even though most of the line is becoming weaker as it starts entering Dade County, GA, more storms have popped up across Alabama and Georgia. There might be some weather advisories with these, even though I do not think there will be anything severe. Here is the radar image.

Storms Shifting Southeast

Even though I think the line will weaken, here is what I think is possible over the next several hours. It may change, so I will have you updated.

Severe Storms Still Possible

Good evening,
It still looks like there might be severe storms in our area tonight.  A strengthening line in Tennessee is now heading through the state of TN and may eventually reach Georgia and Alabama. I make today a Severe Weather Awareness Day, so all warnings/watches will be posted tonight. Main threats will be some wind, although a tornado cannot be completely ruled out in the extreme northwest corner of the state.

Next Major Cold Front

Good evening,
It has been quiet as of lately across Georgia. However, the next major system is shaping up in the West. This will be a fast moving cold front producing damaging winds and tornadoes on Sunday across the Lower Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley. By late Sunday afternoon, the cold front will approach our coverage area, and there will be some storms especially in the northwest section of the state. The squall line will pass with some strong winds in the late evening through Northwest Georgia, and probably around 1 AM through the state's capital. It will continue to push through the state and weaken at the same time, becoming mainly a rain threat by Monday for southern Georgia and the coastal areas. I will post an update early Sunday, but meanwhile, here is my map for Sunday and Monday for Georgia.

**MAJOR** Cold Blast Next Week

Good evening GA folks,
How was last winter? Disappointing, eh? Maybe a few flurries at your house? Comment what you got last winter below! Anyway, it does not look like this winter will be the same. It might be better. In fact, a huge Artcic block following a cold front and a weak system will arrive next week, and bring frigid air. This will very well bring the first snow of the season to the state of Georgia. All models are in good agreement of flurries in the Atlanta metro area to about an inch of accumulations in the higher elevations of Dawson, Union, Towns, Murray, White, Gordon, Gilmer, and Rabun counties. The precipitation will arrive Tuesday afternoon and stick through Tuesday night and possibly into Wednesday morning. Below is my precipitation type forecast for Tuesday into Wednesday.

Also, here is my snowfall forecast for the same time period. 

In addition, there might be slight travel problems north of I-20 Wednesday morning, as some ice may form slick spots on roads, especially bridges. 

I will have an update tomorrow night and possibly again Tuesday afternoon. 

Stay tuned!
