Severe storms move out, cooler air moves in
ATLANTA - A blast of much colder air and snow flurries are now in place after Thursday's severe weather.
DOWNED TREES, FLOODING CONCERNS AFTER SEVERE STORMS ROLL THROUGH NORTH GEORGIA
Gusty northwest winds will continue to funnel cold air into the state. Temperatures will hold in the upper 30s and low 40s for most of the day and it will feel even colder due to the wind chill.
There is limited moisture for precipitation on Friday. During the morning hours, a few snow flurries will pass through north Georgia.
The only potential accumulations should be confined to the higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains. Even there, the total would be somewhere between a dusting and 1/2" on grassy or elevated surfaces. Road and travel issues are not anticipated.
Friday afternoon will be partly to mostly cloudy, blustery, and cold.
Another disturbance will quickly move through Saturday morning. There is not much moisture associated with it, but snow showers are possible during the morning hours, mainly north of I-20, with light rain showers south of I-20. By Saturday afternoon, temperatures should be rebounding into the 40s and 50s.
The FOX 5 Storm Team will monitor Saturday morning for any minor snow accumulation potential.
Sunday is sunny and dry with highs in the low 60s. And those spring-like 60s will be in place all next week. However, it will be very wet again next week with daily chances for rain.
