Snow is in the forecast for the first time this winter, and the chances are increasing toward the weekend.
But first: one more day of sunshine before chances of rain return to the forecast.
NWS Peachtree City is calling for clear skies and temps in the 40s for today, then will dip down into the 20s again overnight before a midweek warmup to the 50s on Wednesday with mostly sunny skies before the potential for rain showers starting on Wednesday night as temps dip down into the 30s.
Chances for showers extend through the tail end of the week, with at least a 50% chance of rain on Thursday and Thursday night, with highs into the mid 40s through low 50s and down into the 30s overnight.
Friday’s high should make it up to around 50 for some parts of Northwest Georgia, but expect the thermometer to linger in the 40s during the day and then start dropping toward freezing overnight.
Those chances of rain are right now predicted to turn into snow showers on Friday night and into Saturday, with a mix of rain, snow and wintry mix possible heading into the weekend.
Snow and rain mix could continue through the weekend into Saturday night and Sunday morning, with highs getting into the upper 30s and low 40s through the region and by Sunday morning turning into freezing rain and then dip well below freezing on Sunday night.
Right now, forecasts are still developing on the potential for winter weather over the weekend, and could be downgraded to rain showers or increase to additional snow.
Much of that will depend on how moisture from the eastern Pacific and the Gulf interact heading into the weekend with arctic air that is pushing southward into the Ohio, Mississippi River valleys, out westward into North Texas, Oklahoma and parts of Kansas all the way eastward into the Carolinas, and the mid-Atlantic states.
Check back for forecast updates through the rest of the week on the developing situation that could bring snow to Northwest Georgia.
