“There will be some snow and some slippery spots and some hazardous travel. That threat increases to the south,” Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz said.
Which areas will see snow? How much snow is expected?
Areas south of I-20 will have the best chance of accumulating snow.
“The winter storm warning down in middle Georgia could see one to two inches of snow,” Nitz said.

As for the type of snow, you can expect light, dry and fluffy snow unlike the wet snow many of us saw earlier this month. What falls on Tuesday will stick immediately.
Timing of the snow:
Snow begins to fall over the south side by late Tuesday morning and gradually begins to develop over the rest of the area during the afternoon. It will mainly around and south of I-20.
With cold pavement temperatures, whatever falls will stick nearly immediately. This will cause hazardous travel.
Light snow and snow showers move out Tuesday evening with sunshine in Wednesday’s forecast. But temperatures will stay very cold, so what falls Tuesday will stick around Wednesday.
Cold temps across North Georgia:
All of North Georgia will see temperatures around freezing the next couple of days. On Tuesday, highs will stay around 32 degrees with lows in the low 20s. Wednesday will be slightly warmer with lows in the teens at night.
Once we get later into the week, temps begin to rise more with lows in the mid-20s at night.
