LOL. I was wrong. They didn't wait until 11 pm.

[Brent]

Very very borderline for Atlanta/Athens. I should just give up since I'm an hour south of I-20.



I also don't see anyone in GA getting 3" and that's the warning criteria. Maybe an isolated report, but not widespread enough for one.

This is what they're saying in the Atlanta Journal Constipation this afternoon:

North Georgia braces for snowfall

Associated Press
Published on: 02/05/06
Get that shovel ready.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for northern Georgia starting Monday morning.

Forecasters expect up to two inches of snow, with the most snow in a line stretching from Rome to near Canton to just north of Gainesville.

The advisory means that snow, sleet and freezing rain can make travel difficult with slippery roads and limited visibility.

A winter storm watch issued earlier this morning remains in effect for the metro Atlanta area. Snow there is expected to turn into rain tomorrow afternoon.

A mix of snow and rain is in the forecast for central Georgia over to the Athens area tomorrow.

[JenyEliza]

I also don't see anyone in GA getting 3" and that's the warning criteria. Maybe an isolated report, but not widespread enough for one.

Well, FFC seems to think a Warning might be in order. Hmm.

GOOD CHANCE THAT LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE TO WARNING AND INCREASE AMOUNTS ONCE EVENT STARTS TO UNFOLD. SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW QUICKLY PRECIP WILL END. GFS MUCH WETTER MONDAY NIGHT THAN ETA...WHICH TRIES TO DRY OUT THE NORTH. WILL SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AND GO WITH HIGHER POPS THAN IN PREVIOUS FORECAST...BUT NOT AS HIGH AS LATEST GFS MOS.

[JenyEliza]

This is from Accuwx.

I sure hope they're wrong.



It looks like most areas from Arkansas to South Carolina will receive a chilly rain Monday and Monday night as temperatures close to the ground will be too warm to support snow. In the mountains of northern Georgia and southwestern North Carolina, it will be cold enough for a period of wet snow.

Well, FFC seems to think a Warning might be in order. Hmm.

I have no clue what they see. There has been a slight trend for warmer air and less snow(maybe even none). It's VERY borderline for Atlanta anyway. There isn't going to be 3" there.

The whole scenario they paint is wrong. Initialization is wrong, track is too far south and we are going down to 27 tonight in Charlotte. 42.4 now, dp 19. I do not think 3 inches, I agree Brent, but I do think it will be some light snow and light accums is the colder areas and elevations.

[Brent]

I do agree Inaccuweather is wrong though. Some part of North AL/GA besides the very highest elevations will see a least a slight accumulation. I just am very uncertain about Birmingham and Atlanta. If it does happen, it's going to melt quickly so you better get out and enjoy it.

I think IF there are any schools affected in the two cities mentioned, it'll be a delayed opening for a couple of hours. Any closings would be confined to areas farther north.

[JenyEliza]

This is the forecast for my area from FFC:

Tonight: A 30 percent chance of snow after 1am. Increasing clouds, with a low near 30. West wind between 10 and 15 mph becoming calm. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Monday: Snow likely before 1pm, then rain likely. Cloudy, with a high around 41. North wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Monday Night: A chance of rain before 1am, then a slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. Northeast wind between 5 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

So they've issued a Winter Weather Advisory for counties north of Cobb, Paulding, Fulton and Gwinnett and have kept most of Atlanta metro in the Winter Storm Watch. Can we imply they think that most of the wintery precip will be over North Metro? Otherwise I cant figure why they'd drop the WSW for the far northern counties.

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/

Should be a wild ride over the next week regardless.

I'm thinking the watch will dropped later this evening unless things change leaving only an advisory from Atlanta north.

Brent,

Looks like you might have been right on the money.

THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM EST MONDAY
THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE FROM THE MIDWEST TOWARD GEORGIA LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY BRINGING PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION. WITH A CANADIAN AIR MASS IN PLACE...THE PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN AS A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET...OR RAIN AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK...CHANGING TO RAIN BY AFTERNOON.

NEW MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT TEMPERATURES MAY BE SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN EARLIER INDICATED ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...THE WATCH MAY BE DROPPED AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND...IF NEW DATA SUGGESTS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN CURRENTLY INDICATED...IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO UPGRADE THE WATCH AREA TO A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY.

RESIDENTS OF THIS AREA ARE URGED TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION
CAREFULLY. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER STATEMENTS OR POSSIBLE WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

<snip>

MY THINKING IS THAT THIS MAY
TREND TOWARD MORE OF A RAIN EVENT FOR THE ATL AREA AND POINTS
WEST...BUT POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW IN THE NE AREAS IS QUITE
POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...ALL OF THE MODELS SUGGEST THAT PRECIP COULD
CHANGE TO RAIN EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOPEFULLY
THE 00Z RUN WILL CLARIFY THE SITUATION FURTHER. SYSTEM EXITS THE
AREA AFTER 06Z TUE...WITH GOOD SUBSIDENCE IN PLACE TUE.

Yeah and an advisory means less snow. I still think Atlanta could see about an inch, but it's very iffy. They could easily get nothing. Here... I'm not getting my hopes up. If it snows then it does, if it doesn't, oh well. I've been letdown too many times to get excited over a very borderline event.

Oh and more thing, it may not even snow in Atlanta(if it does) until Late Morning. That's a negative since the sun will have time to warm the air up.

[JenyEliza]

It's 33F at my house--and light COLD WINTER RAIN.

Not a flake to be seen.

From around 8:50 to 9:30 we had some snow coming down at a moderate clip. The flakes around 9:20 were HUGE silver dollar flakes and were really coming down hard for about 5-10 minutes. Then the rain started mixing in. Now at 9:56 its just a nice cold rain. Well at least it was nice to look at. Will try and post some pics if I get the chance.

[ga_ben]

Well it has stopped raining and now I've got light snow with huge flakes falling again. Temp is at 34.9

What part of Marietta are you in? I'm slightly south and west of Marietta, but only seeing rain. Not a single flake or flurry here.

Temp is also 34.9.
