Snow on Sunday?
There’s a reasonable chance that this weekend’s spell of wet weather could end up producing a few inches of snow before it’s all over Sunday night. While the Weather Service forecast from this morning hasn’t mentioned it yet, WSB TV has put out a report calling for between two and four inches of the white stuff on Sunday. I heard Kirk Melhuish mention the possibility of snow while driving around at lunch time, and Accuweather is calling for just over an inch in Atlanta on Sunday.
I guess it’s just a question of whether you trust the computer models or not. The HPC is indicating that there is a 40% chance of four inches of snow in much of eastern Georgia (Athens to Augusta), and a 10% chance further west, including Atlanta. If it does happen, it will be unusual. Typically, when temperatures cold enough to support snow come in, the cold front preceding it has moved most of the precipitation out of the area. If the models are right, the precipitation will last long enough to support some snow.
We’ll know more by tomorrow afternoon — still with plenty enough time to run to the store and stock up on bread and milk.
