Will Decatur Get More Snow?

DECATUR, GA -- It took a little longer than meteorologists predicted, but Decatur and the surrounding area got its share of snow on Tuesday.

A light dusting never really stuck, but was steady throughout the morning and into the early afternoon around much of the city.

So, is more snow on the way?

Probably not in the next few days.

The National Weather Service, which has put much of north Georgia under a hazardous weather outlook, is calling for scattered snow showers to continue in the Decatur area until about 8 p.m. Tuesday. Then, the forecast calls for cloudy skies and a low temperature dropping down to about 23 degrees.

With Wednesday’s high predicted to be only about 36 degrees, we’ll have the right temperatures again for more of the white stuff.

But skies are expected to be sunny on Wednesday. No precipitation, no snow.

It’ll stay mostly clear Wednesday night, when the low is expected to dip to 26 degrees. And that will be the story for the rest of the week -- slightly warmer temperatures and skies that will be either sunny or cloudy.

But, wait. What about Valentine’s Day?

The weather service says snow might come back around then.

Sunday’s forecast calls for a high near 37 degrees and a low around 27 Sunday night, when there will be a 30% we see snow again.
