Another Chance for Freezing Rain Thursday
In a near-repeat of weather conditions from two weeks ago, the possibility of freezing rain has raised its ugly head in North Georgia.
As you may remember from this post, we had a situation two weeks ago with a low pressure system approaching from the south, and cold air in place. This brought the threat of freezing rain or sleet. Although there was a bit of freezing rain overnight, the ground was warm enough, and the precipitation amount was small enough that there weren’t any problems.
The situation this week is different. Unlike two weeks ago, when we set a new high temperature record, it’s been much colder, which increases the chances of any freezing sticking around. Also, instead of 1/10th of an inch of precipitation, we are likely to see about an inch between 7 PM Wednesday and 7 PM Thursday.
Right now, forecasters believe that what does fall could be freezing rain north of a line between LaGrange and Milledgeville. Even after sunrise on Thursday, the line between rain and freezing rain will be just south of Gwinnett County.
Everything is subject to timing of the storm, and the exact temperatures on Wednesday night. We’ll have a much better picture of what is to come on Wednesday morning.
