Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 634 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 ...New 00Z Aviation Discussion... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 631 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 - A high impact ice storm is anticipated in northern Georgia this weekend. A Winter Storm Watch has been expanded for most of north Georgia and a small portion of central Georgia. The northern portion of the watch is in effect from 1 AM Saturday through 10 AM Monday, while areas generally near and south of I-20 are from 1 PM Saturday to 10 AM Monday. - Widespread impacts to travel are anticipated over the weekend due to the ice, and power outages are likely. - Dangerously cold temperatures will arrive by Sunday night and persist into next week, and cold weather dangers could be exacerbated by ongoing power outages. - Now is the time to review your family's emergency plan and make preparations for hazardous weather. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday) Issued at 325 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 Rain showers are ongoing across north Georgia this afternoon as a frontal boundary becomes stationary across Middle Georgia. Waves of light to occasionally moderate rain showers will linger near and north of this front overnight tonight into Friday morning as a weak midlevel shortwave traverses the flow. Showers will then taper off by midday Friday. Rainfall totals through tomorrow will largely range from a tenth to a third of an inch within a band near and north of the stationary frontal boundary. Drier conditions will return, albeit briefly, through Friday night as a CAD wedge begins to build in at the surface and southwest flow aloft leads into our potential winter weather this weekend. As far as temperatures are concerned, lows tonight will remain above freezing areawide, ranging from the mid 30s in far north Georgia through the 40s elsewhere. There will be a significant range in temperatures across the area on Friday with highs in the 40s and 50s north of the stationary front across north Georgia to as high as the lower 70s in far southern portions of Middle Georgia. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday morning through next Wednesday) Issued at 325 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026 TL;DR: Interplay between a strong (1040+ mb) Arctic high, strong moisture advection, and developing cold air damming (CAD) will support a significant ice storm -- ice/freezing rain as the primary and most impactful precipitation type -- across portions of north and central Georgia this weekend, with impacts carrying over into next week. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for far north and northeast Georgia from 1AM Saturday through 10AM Monday, and for portions of central and northwest Georgia from 1PM Saturday through 10AM Monday. Ice accumulations greater than a quarter of an inch will make travel impossible in some locations, and when combined with wind gusts of 20-30 mph, may cause widespread weather-related power outages. As precipitation tapers off on Monday, a frigid, unseasonably cold airmass will move in on its heels. Meaningful melting may not occur until Tuesday, prolonging impacts across north Georgia into next week. What We Know: 1) Consensus on a remarkable warm nose (between global model guidance and the NAM, the first of our CAMs to have this event in their purview) -- of almost 10C at 850mb. This combined with temperatures at or slightly below freezing at the surface supports increasing confidence in freezing rain/ice accumulations being our primary hazard. Snow accumulations have tapered off to effectively zero, though we may see a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain at onset of the event late Saturday within the core of the wedge/CAD airmass (generally between the Atlanta Metro and Athens and points north and east). 2) A strong Arctic high sliding into place across the Northeast will set the stage for strong, classical cold air damming -- a phenomenon notoriously difficult to resolve in numerical models, which tends to erode our cool, stable airmass far too quickly. As overrunning moisture precipitates into the wedge, it is reinforced and strengthened via evaporative cooling. The breadth and strength of the wedge will be the difference between a potentially crippling ice storm (stronger, longer-lasting cool air at the surface; accumulation up to an inch of ice in our typical wedge areas, and potentially more) and a more "run of the mill" ice storm. 3) The deterministic Euro made waves across the weather enterprise with its warm/northerly trend yesterday (which was an outlier in its own ensemble). 12z deterministic Euro guidance has come in cooler, and a tick to the south -- more in line with the ensemble mean. Notably, this comes two cycles after reconnaissance dropsonde data was incorporated, which allowed for more accurate sampling of key forecast features. Trends in ensemble guidance continue to support a footprint of potentially significant ice accumulation across much of north and north central Georgia. 4) After precipitation tapers off areawide, likely by mid-morning Monday, a secondary Arctic surface high will fill in across north and central Georgia (and much of Southern and Eastern CONUS) in its wake. A much colder, much drier airmass will linger for the remainder of the week. Highs on Monday will be in the upper 20s to 30s in areas that received ice accumulation, potentially postponing meaningful melting beginning until perhaps Tuesday at the latest. Concerns exist that weather-related power outages may continue if roadways remain in poor condition into next week, potentially overlapping with lows in the single digits to teens on Tuesday morning (and "feels like" temperatures below zero for portions of far north Georgia). What Remains Uncertain: 1) The extent of the cold airmass/wedge. Pattern recognition, past experience/expertise, and theory point to the strength and staying power as the wedge builds in, but ice accumulations in locales roughly along an arc extending from Rome to Newnan to Augusta remain highly uncertain/on a fine line meteorologically. Current thinking is that low-end (but impactful) ice accumulations are possible over the course of the day Sunday for the aforementioned areas, but intensity and location will depend heavily on the southwestern progression of the cool dome. Additionally, a stronger wedge will impact upper-bounds of ice accumulation, which are likely to be situated within the core of the cold air -- from the Northern Metro to Athens and points north and east. 2) Exact timing of onset and changeover. An initial push of freezing rain/a wintry mix is possible just before daybreak Saturday along the GA/TN border, with the "main event" so to speak beginning later Saturday afternoon across northeast Georgia as cold air damming extends southward along the Appalachian Mountains. Timing will hinge on temperature profiles, which will come into finer detail as HiRes guidance becomes available -- beginning tomorrow. 3) Speed of erosion of cold air on the southern edge of the wedge. Dewpoints across far south central Georgia on Sunday afternoon look to surge into the upper 50s to lower 60s -- sufficiently soupy to support thunderstorms butting right up against the periphery of our ice footprint. If the wedge begins to retreat or erode early on Sunday, chances for thunderstorms may spread further northward. Severe weather appears to be unlikely at this time, but care will need to be taken to monitor this as a tertiary threat given what is likely to be a broad surface temperature gradient (in the 30s to 40s within the wedge, and potentially in the upper 60s to near 70 to the south), and helicity generated along the edge of the wedge boundary. Subsequent tweaks (and eventual upgrades) to our Winter Storm Watch are likely to come either overnight tonight or tomorrow. The broader picture -- a potentially major ice storm across portions of north and central Georgia -- is becoming more and more certain, but fine details that may determine the magnitude of impacts are likely still to come as this event enters the short term. Continue to work on preparations if you are in or close to the aforementioned areas, and endeavor to be ready to enact your preparations, and postpone travel, by Saturday when conditions begin to deteriorate. && .AVIATION...
