GA Weather: Snow, Showers In Wet Forecast For Part Of State

GEORGIA — In a continuing wet trend, more rain is ahead for parts of the Peach State while the north Georgia mountains could get a rain/snow mixture Wednesday night, forecasters said Tuesday.

The National Weather Service's Ansley Long told Patch there is a "pretty active weather pattern coming up" in the next week.

But do not fret — there are no severe hazards with the forthcoming rain, which is set to last through Monday, Long said.

Once the patchy frost passes overnight Tuesday, showers and clouds could fill the Georgia sky Wednesday due to a frontal system, according to the weather service.

The mix of potential showers and snow forecast for Wednesday night into Thursday for north Georgia should not have a widespread impact, Long said.

After Wednesday, the weather should be clear and sunny until another round of showers during the weekend.

The central portion of the state is forecast to see the highest amount of rainfall Friday with an inch and a half to 2 inches predicted for the area, Long said. Other parts of Georgia could feel an inch of rain though that may not include metro Atlanta, she said.

The weather service is monitoring for possible flooding though it was not anticipated as of Tuesday.

As for winds, Friday could get breezy with sustained between 15 and 20 mph with gusts up to around 30 mph. Winds the remainder of the week are forecast to travel at low speeds.

Georgia residents should feel hight temperatures in the 40s Wednesday and in the 50s the rest of the week.
