...SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY OVER NORTH GEORGIA SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY...
...BLACK ICE LIKELY SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...
A strong upper level storm system will combine with very cold
temperatures aloft and near the ground to produce wintry
precipitation this weekend.
The rain will begin mixing with and changing to snow after
midnight on Saturday night and switch to mainly snow over far
northeast Georgia with a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet and
snow over the rest of north Georgia during the day Sunday. Light
snow or snow flurries will be ending from west to east Sunday
evening.
The heaviest snow will fall on Sunday over far northeast Georgia,
where a Winter Storm Watch is in effect and up to 6 inches of
snow is expected with higher amounts possible at elevations above
2000 feet. Elsewhere across north Georgia north of I-20, up to 2
inches of sleet and snow and up to two-tenths (0.20) of an inch of
ice will be possible. South of I-20, there may be some snow or
sleet mixed with the rain but little to no accumulation is
expected.
After the precipitation clears out Sunday night, temperatures
will fall into the 20s and any remaining liquid runoff from
earlier precipitation will likely freeze on roadways across north
Georgia. These icy spots will persist well into Monday morning.

No. Temps too warm at/near the surface.

I am at around 20 inches on the NAM with some ice in there too. I think it might be a little bit out there or I won't have power for a few weeks.

Woke up to see what we have and doesn’t look like anything has really changed. Starting with the 12z run we’re starting to get much more in the 12K NAMs range more so I’ll be paying more attention to the hi res stuff a lot more today.

Updated from GSP and this looks a lot more accurate than the first map they originally had.

I tell you what, we make fun of the ICON but that is probably one of the best visualizations of snow totals that I’ve seen and matches up well with our local Mets and GSPs thinking. You are probably sitting somewhere around 2-5” around DT Spartanburg but you get anywhere close to 85 and it shoots up to 4-6” and everything along and north is 6”+. Matches up really well in my opinion.

Latest RAP is weaker with the storm and way south on the precip. This is the latest 9z run at hour 51; which could be explained as out of the models affective range:

Nam 3km has around temps at 34/35 in central Alabama on the backside of the Low pressure. Anybody that knows. Does nam have a temperature bias of any means. With the dense cold air we're dealing with. Any shift in a few degrees colder will result in some people receiving a good chunk of snow, to almost zilch.
