Residents in far-northwest Georgia could wake up to snow on Monday morning.

From 1 a.m. Monday to Tuesday morning, a winter storm warning will be in effect for the counties of Dade, Walker and Catoosa, where up to 2 inches of snow is possible.

Residents should plan on hazardous road conditions from ice accumulation that could impact the morning and evening commutes. Though the forecast has shifted toward a mix of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.

“A wintry mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain is expected across a portion of north Georgia tonight through Tuesday morning,” the NWS wrote Sunday afternoon.

A winter weather advisory is also in effect during that time for Chattooga, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Murray and Whitfield, Polk, Haralson, Bartow, Pickens, and Towns counties. Up to 1 inch of snow and a light glaze of ice from freezing rain are possible, the NWS said.

Metro Atlanta should escape the brunt of the wintery precipitation and remain mostly cloudy throughout Monday. Lows will be right below freezing, but the afternoon will be slightly warmer with a high of 54 degrees, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Jennifer Lopez said.

Temperatures will change overnight as frigid air coming from the Arctic and spilling into Canada and parts of central U.S. is causing them to further drop in the South. Lopez expects the system won’t produce much snow or rain in metro Atlanta, though the upcoming cold surge could led to refreezing or patchy ice spots.

“It swings through the southeast, but when it tries to get closer to Atlanta on Tuesday morning, it does look like it will fizzle out,” she said. “I just don’t have a lot of confidence in this system because it is continuing to show signs of weakening in the computer forecast models.”

A blast of cold air Tuesday could bring morning temperatures into the low 30s in Atlanta. By Wednesday, it could reach a low of 17 degrees in the city, and the wind chill could drop temperatures to just above 0.

“Wednesday morning if you step outside without proper gear you are going to be running back inside,” Lopez said.

A slow warming trend will begin Thursday and into Friday with afternoon highs returning to the mid-40s. Overnight lows will remain below freezing for much of the long-term forecast, with Friday reaching a low of 36 degrees, according to Channel 2.
