Emerson, GA

... A wintry mix possible Monday night into Tuesday morning...

A strong Arctic high which has affected the area the last two days
will gradually shift east of the area... allowing for a return of
moisture to the area late Monday. This will result in precipitation
moving into the western portions of the area late Monday evening
and the remainder of the area through Monday night.

Enough cold air is expected to be in place to result in a 3 to 6
hour period of a mixture of light rain and light snow. A total of
a half inch of snow is possible by Tuesday morning. The
precipitation will turn to all rain by Tuesday afternoon.

There is quite a bit of uncertainty with this forecast
given the amount of cold air remaining in place and timing issues
with respect to the precipitation. Therefore... everyone is encouraged
to check frequently for forecast updates issued from this office.

... A wintry mix expected Monday night into Tuesday morning...

A strong Arctic high which has affected the area the last two days
will gradually shift east of the area... allowing for a return of
moisture to the area late Monday. This will result in precipitation
moving into the western portions of the area late Monday evening
and the remainder of the area through Monday night. Enough cold
air is expected to be in place to result in a 3 to 6 hour period
of light snow or light snow mixed with sleet and rain. Generally
around an inch of accumulation is expected through late Monday
night before the precipitation changes to all rain early Tuesday
morning.

The exception will be the higher elevations where snow and sleet
may last a little longer into Tuesday morning... resulting in
accumulations of closer to 2 inches. There is also the potential
for a brief period of freezing rain just prior to the transition
to all rain which would create hazardous travel conditions. Should
indications of these amounts continue... a Winter Weather Advisory
will likely be needed with subsequent forecasts.
