The above surface weather chart is for today and tonight into early Sunday morning. Spotty drizzle at times this afternoon will transition to scattered light showers late afternoon and early evening then become widespread rain as the night goes on diminishing to spotty light showers or drizzle on Sunday. Any real problems from ice accumulation should remain in the far Northeast corner of Georgia.

As far South as Northern Hall County and adjacent areas there may be a brief period of sleet and freezing rain tonight or early Sunday but only insignificant ice accretion is possible mainly on objects above the ground with no real problems expected before it changes to just rain there as well. Just rain for the majority of the Metro Atlanta area.

However, as explained in blogs all week and in the past with “the wedge” you never say never to the chance of a last minute surprise.

The odds of that in this scenario look low but we’ll keep our eyes on it just in case when the bulk of the precipitation moves in tonight with rainfall amounts averaging half an inch to one inch.
