ATLANTA — Weather conditions are changing rapidly as winter precipitation moves across north Georgia and parts of north metro Atlanta, ushering in frigid overnight temperatures.
According to the 11Alive StormTrackers, temperatures on Monday will plummet in the overnight hours into early Tuesday - and bottom out in the 20s.
As temperatures continue to fall, moisture behind the system will bring snow flurries over north Georgia late Monday into early Tuesday. A winter weather advisory is also in effect.
Little to no accumulation is expected in the metro, but about 2" is expected to fall over the extreme higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains. After the precipitation moves out, temperatures will stay cold: highs on Tuesday will barely get above 40 degrees. Temperatures will start to moderate and warm after the middle of the week.
