Atlanta's weather: sun and snow flurries expected this week, with temperatures varying from highs near 48 to lows around 14 degrees.
A Winter Ice Warning has been issued for the Atlanta metro area, and the forecast currently calls for 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice to form between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. Despite that, officials at the world's busiest airport believe planes will be able to take off and land over the weekend.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan received brand forecast data for Channel 2 Action News This Morning.
The forecast predicts varied weather in Atlanta, with possible snow showers and fluctuating temperatures including chilly lows and a warming trend into the following week.
Atlantans are in for a soggy stretch of weather mixed with another wave of arctic air. CBS News Atlanta meteorologist Dagmar Midcap says that will likely mean the Atlanta metro area and rural parts up north could see more snowflakes this weekend.
This is definitely a bit of a bummer considering that this’ll now make it two years in a row where the annual winter hype event for the Braves has been cancelled. Last season it was due to stadium upgrades in preparation for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game and now this year it’s due to just plain ol’ bad luck in terms of the weather.
