ATLANTA — The 11Alive StormTrackers were tracking the potential for a wintry mix in parts of north Georgia Sunday morning. It came following a windy and rainy Saturday night.

Here's what to know about Sunday's chance of a wintry mix:

  • Rain may mix with and/or change to wet snow in parts of north Georgia Sunday morning
  • Around the metro, it should be mostly rain. Any snow that falls will melt.
