Same thing here. Not sure about FFC’s note for areas north of town, but the fact that I have ground truth that nothing is under this band just south of Birmingham tells me that this one may just be done for the north metro/exurbs

I checked the mesoanalysis. We are actually looking better than I expected in dgz RH. We just aren't patient enough.

I had a brief part of the clouds in midtown, now its thickened up again and I am starting to see some very light flurries scattered about again here and there lol.

Sun already gone here too. Must've been a small hole. We got a good hour or so before we see things pick up if I'm guessing correctly.
 
The brief lightening of the skies here has my temp up to 30 now. I hoped to at least remain solidly below freezing so as not to waste whatever meager precip gets squeezed out to cool the boundary layer.

C'mon y'all- we can't complain about the sun angle until our February monsters appear in the long range

Are you up high in a building? I am in south Buckhead very close to midtown and have not seen any flurries yet.

I've been up to the 31st floor (roof) a few times and seen flurries (very light) and can see a few fly by from my windows on the 10th floor under heavier virga returns. Its nothing really notable though, just a few specks flying by then it stops. Nothing to get excited about at all lol

I start worrying about the sun angle two weeks after the solstice. I've been impressed by how slow the temperature has been to rise from my overnight low of 18. But, even with near-freezing surface temps, it's difficult to accumulate light snow until late afternoon in my experience.

I was watching the WCBD forecast at 11 and they didn't even have an inch of snow for CHS. 2-4 for St. George. A tenth of an inch of sleet

I'm upping my numbers 2"-5" (accounting for potential sleet coast to 20 miles inland (Ashley Phosphate Rd). 4"-6" north of that thru Inland Colleton, Dorchester, and Berkeley Counties.

Atlanta benefits from elevation. They sit on a hill that is about 1,100 ASL if I remember correctly.
 
Anyone have an opinion on Durham County on the north side of the city. Sister and niece are there hoping for good snow for niece who has no memory of snow. Thank you.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

-- Changed Discussion --
As of 1125 AM EST Tuesday: Radar returns are showing very light

snow in the upper levels across the Upstate. With the drier air
still in place, much of the snow is evaporating before it
reaches the ground. Over the next few hours, could see snow
bands setting up well south of I-85. Current mesoanalysis shows
a tight gradient and modest frontogenesis occurring just outside
the CWA at the SC/NC line. This could help uptick snow totals
as heavier bands setup later today, but again, right on the
fringe of our CWA. Confidence in this system is low to medium as
small mesoscale features will influence whether or not the area
along and south of I-85 sees snow on the ground. At most, still
expecting up to an inch total.

Otherwise, the gulf low which we`ve been monitoring for several days
now still has the potential to produce some snow showers across our
southeastern zones this afternoon and tonight. More of the latest near-
term guidance now depicts a bit more QPF along and south of the I-85
corridor. The best forcing and moisture remains at mid and upper lvls,
while low levels remain dry. Mid-level isentropic lift will spread NE
across the region this afternoon, but with such a dry and deep sub-
cloud layer, much of what falls from the mid-level clouds will likely
be lost to evaporation. Nonetheless, snow flurries are probable this
aftn/evening as this lift strengthens, and it`s looking like we may
see some accumulating snow along and south of I-85. After consulting
with our neighboring fcst offices, we decided to go ahead and issue
a Winter Wx Advisory for snow, that runs from 4 pm today until 9 am
Wed morning. This was largely driven by the potential impacts on roads.
With the cold air in place, any accumulating snow may cause significant
impacts on roadways. Temperatures, meanwhile, will continue to be well-
below normal thru the period, barely getting above 32 degrees over much
of the fcst area today.
