ATLANTA -- You have a little while longer to prepare for the next blast of cold air that moves in beginning Sunday night.  

The big changes move in late Sunday.  A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for much of north Georgia from Sunday night into Monday morning.  The city of Atlanta is not in the watch area, however some of our northern metro counties are included in the watch.  The counties in the Winter Storm Watch are Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Fannin, Gilmer, Union, Towns, Chattooga, Gordon, Pickens, Dawson, Lumpkin, White, Floyd, Bartow and Cherokee.  

There will be some pockets of light rain in the afternoon on Sunday.  The main area of rain moves in late Sunday night.  As the cold air comes in behind it, we will see a brief changeover to snow flurries overnight Sunday into Monday morning.  We don't expect accumulations in Atlanta.  We could have some accumulations in north and northwest Georgia of around an inch.  We  have to watch for black ice to develop as the cold air will push in before much of the water is able to dry up.  High temperatures Monday will only be 26.

This will be some of the coldest air that we have seen in a long time.  We do expect a low of 6 degrees Tuesday morning with a high Tuesday of only 25.  We will have an extended period with temperatures below freezing.  It will be below freezing late Sunday night into Wednesday afternoon.

This comes after parts of the metro and lots of north Georgia saw snow Friday morning.

Temperatures dipped into the teens with wind chills feeling as low as -5.

Drivers had to watch out for black ice on their morning commute and hundreds were without power as trees fell from strong winds.
