Why is NE GA under a Ice storm warning while everybody else is still just under a winter storm watch

Absolutely pouring sleet in the western piedmont and update at hour 45 of NAM

Seems to me that its because its the highest forecasted amounts for our region.

So they are forecasted more ice than like us here in upstate??
Don’t really understand the tendency of people to anoint models as having won the storm 48 hours before the storm has even started. 
More ZR than that of the upstate, they are more IP. Look at the NWS current forecast and compare.

Ok yeah that makes sense I knew we was likely seeing more Sleet I just figured Ne GA would be less ice than us
Been a long time coming. We going back to back. Been ahead of the public on this but I’m not sure that makes me feel any better. The prepping goes on
A rather "peculiar" look.

Tracking these back to back rain storms has drained me. I hope this next one either works or disappears quickly. Ughhhh

If I'm being honest, I think the most I'm probably going to end up seeing in the best timing window is mist.
There's just been a tendency for expected precip to not be as high as expected. Sunday night will probably work, but by then, it should be above freezing.
If it were going to be a couple degrees colder, the way that line winds up would make it interesting. Thunderstorms and freezing rain, maybe?

Confidence but i struggle to understand how they didn't add gwinnett, barrow, walton, clarke, oglethorpe, oconee, and greene counties. These areas always get it hard and models certainly do so again. It will go past that but certainly the highest confidence should include those.

I probably wouldn't take his forecast maps as seriously for Georgia. His focus is on the Carolinas.

Gotta be careful with the edges of a call map when it isn’t the main coverage area for that met

Its coming, patience.
From the KFFC discussion overnight...
.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 138 AM EST Fri Jan 23 2026
Ice Storm Overview
The primary change to the forecast overnight was the issuance of
an Ice Storm Warning for several counties in northeast Georgia.
The portion of the Winter Storm Watch upgraded to the Ice Storm
Warning represents the area were we are most confident in
major/prolonged impacts from ice accumulation. This area may
experience widespread power outages and treacherous travel
conditions by Sunday morning. Confidence in the timing and degree
of icing in Atlanta, along Interstate 75 north of Atlanta, and
Interstate 20 east of Atlanta was lower. Thus these areas and
their surrounding counties were left in a Winter Storm Watch for
now. We will reevaluate the current Watches and Warnings later
this morning and provide updates by early this afternoon. An
expansion to the Ice Storm Warning is probable at some point.

I think I have reached the now-casting phase. The models are just all over the place with the 2m temps and QPF. Watch the radar returns and current OBS to the west along with your current location

FWIW Tim miller in Columbia isn’t buying that all the rain won’t be frozen. Thinks the wedge is being underdone and the cold.
