A stalled surface front is continuing to bring widespread rain across the northern half of Georgia and is expected to shift southward as a cold front on Thursday. Behind the front, a cold weather air mass will spread across the state.

As the low pressure area moves to the northeast, wrap around moisture should swing into the area, causing the rain to change over to snow across the northern part of the state late Thursday. Heaviest snowfall amounts -- 2 to 4 inches -- are possible across the far north Georgia Mountains. Less than an inch of snow is expected across the remainder of the watch area. Black ice can be expected over much of the watch area.

11Alive Chief Meteorologist Mike Francis will have updated storm information on 11Alive News at 6.
