**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.
