..RAIN POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SNOW LATER TODAY
WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. THE RAIN COULD
MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO ALL SNOW LATER TODAY AS COLDER AIR FILTERS
IN THE REGION BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THE RISK FOR ANY
SNOW WILL BE GREATEST ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM REIDSVILLE TO
STATESBORO AND ALLENDALE. THIS INCLUDES COMMUNITIES SUCH AS
METTER, MILLEN, EMMALANE, HILLTONIA, SYLVANIA, HOPEULIKIT, MARTIN
AND ULMER. WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW IS ALREADY IMPACTING
MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA WHERE ACCUMULATIONS HAVE
BEEN REPORTED.
WHILE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME,
SOME VERY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM MID-MORNING
TODAY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. ACCUMULATIONS, SHOULD THEY
OCCUR, WOULD MOST LIKELY BE CONFINED TO GRASSY AREAS AND OTHER
ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS ROOF TOPS. ISOLATED SLICK SPOTS COULD
ALSO OCCUR ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, BUT SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL
IMPACTS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME GIVEN TEMPERATURES WILL
LARGELY REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING. ANY SNOW THAT ACCUMULATES WILL
QUICKLY MELT ONCE THE SNOW ENDS, THUS LIMITING ITS IMPACT.
SHOULD THE RISK FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL INCREASE, A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE ISSUED FOR THE AREA.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF YOU PLAN TO DRIVE OR WALK, REMAIN ALERT FOR SLICK SPOTS ON
PAVED SURFACES. SLOW YOUR DRIVING SPEED AND USE CARE WHEN WALKING
ON SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING LOTS. SLIPS AND FALLS
CONSTITUTE A LEADING CAUSE OF INJURIES DURING WINTER WEATHER.
