Rain is expected throughout Georgia today with snow possible as far South as Macon on Saturday night.
According to the National Weather Service, residents in Central Georgia can expect persistent rain showers and isolated thunderstorms throughout the day, with a possibility of severe storms in the far southeastern corner of the forecast area.
These storms could bring damaging wind gusts, with the primary hazard being the strong winds.
In addition, the forecast predicts that central Georgia will see 2 to 4 inches of rain through Sunday, which could lead to isolated flooding concerns in areas that receive heavy rain for prolonged periods of time.
In the north and portions of central Georgia, residents can expect periods of wintry precipitation starting Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Snow accumulations of up to a few inches are possible along the mountaintops and ridgeline of far Northern Georgia above 2,000 feet in elevation. Other areas north of a line from Columbus to Macon to Augusta could see a light dusting of snow.
The National Weather Service advises residents to stay updated on the latest weather conditions and take necessary precautions, especially if traveling in areas that are expected to see severe weather.
