It rained and it rained and it sleeted and it snowed. All day long.

Where the precipitation has not already frozen, chances are it will before everyone is supposed to get to work on Tuesday morning.

“Ice warnings and advisories in effect until noon for everyone east of I-75 and I-20 northward,” says WSB meteorologist Kirk Mellish.

Temperatures will hover below freezing past sunrise. Meaning any moisture that did not dry up may slow you down on the way to work. Mellish expects temps to fall through 9am but go above freezing in most areas no later than the noon hour.

The National Weather Service still has a winter weather advisory in place everyone north of a line from Rome-to-Chatsworth and Atlanta-to-Madison-to-Washington. This includes the metro Atlanta counties of Bartow, North Fulton, Gwinnett, Barrow, DeKalb, Rockdale, Walton and Newton.

Most of the the precipitation has ended says Mellish, but black ice is a concern. "The wind will help dry the pavement in most areas this morning" said Mellish.

“Some roads across the advisory area are already slick due to the freezing rain that fell earlier,” says the NWS in its advisory. “Black ice will form as the subfreezing temperatures spread across the area creating very slick conditions. Also winds increase this morning. Ice laden tree limbs, trees and power lines could come down.”

The biggest area of concern is the northeast exurbs and northeast Georgia, where the precipitation was frozen from the start. A winter storm warning remains in effect until noon today for everyone north of and east of a line from Ellijay-to-Canton-to-Athens. This includes the metro Atlanta counties of Cherokee, Forsyth and Hall.

The good news is, this is a half-day event for most people. This will also be the warmest day of the work week. Mellish says temperatures will reach the mid-40s today with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Lows tonight though fall back into the mid-20s.

And that’s it. That’s the last time we see 40 degrees for a while.

Mellish says things really get cold on Wednesday. A passing flurry is possible with high temperatures around 39. Lows fall to 11-to-16 at night.

Thursday will be even worse with near-record breaking arctic air. Mellish says highs won’t get out of the upper 20s for many with wind chill values below zero. Lows will fall down into the mid-teens again.
