The National Weather Service in Peachtree City is warning residents across north Georgia to prepare for a major winter storm, including the potential for significant ice accumulation, expected to move through the region this weekend.
Forecasters say the storm system is expected to impact much of the Eastern United States, with north Georgia currently in the area of highest concern.
While forecast confidence is lower for central Georgia, officials say the situation should still be monitored closely as conditions could change.
Potential impacts include:
-
Snow, sleet, and freezing rain
-
Hazardous travel conditions
-
Possible power outages due to ice accumulation
The National Weather Service urges residents to use this time to prepare now, review emergency plans, and stay informed as updated forecasts become available.
Additional updates will be issued as the storm system develops.
