An Ice Storm Warning has been issued for much of the area, including metro Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>[DOWNLOAD: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/wsbtvweatherapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Free WSB-TV Weather App for alerts wherever you go<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist Brian Monahan<\/b> says this is the first Ice Storm Warning issued for the region since February 2014.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">A Winter Storm Watch has been upgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory for far southern counties, while the rest of north and central Georgia remains under an Ice Storm Warning. The most widespread and potentially destructive ice impacts are expected on the northeast side of the metro area, where conditions will be most favorable for prolonged icing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>This is an evolving weather situation.

That level of ice could lead to dangerous travel conditions, downed trees, and power outages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Most of Saturday is expected to remain dry, but conditions will begin to deteriorate later this afternoon and into the evening as a winter mix develops. The most significant impacts are expected overnight into early Sunday morning, when temperatures will be cold enough for ice toaccumulate on roads, bridges, trees, and power lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Some areas may see a transition to rain late Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon, which could help limit additional icing. However, forecasters caution that refreezing is likely Sunday night as much colder air moves back into the region, potentially creating black ice and renewed travel hazards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Officials urge residents to limit travel, prepare for possible power outages, and closely monitor weather updates as conditions continue to evolve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>[UPLOAD PHOTOS: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/share-with-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Share your weather photos with us here<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>HOME WINTER CHECKLIST<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select foods<\/li>\n<li>Disposable dishware (plates, bowls, utensils)<\/li>\n<li>Specialty items (medications, infant formula, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Portable radio (AM\/FM WX radio and batteries)<\/li>\n<li>Warm clothing (hats, mittens\/gloves, warm coats, boots)<\/li>\n<li>Flashlights and extra batteries<\/li>\n<li>First aid kit<\/li>\n<li>Extra blankets<\/li>\n<li>Cellphone (fully charged)<\/li>\n<li>Firewood (for wood fireplaces)<\/li>\n<li>Matches (for candles and gas fireplaces)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>CAR WINTERIZATION CHECKLIST<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check engine fluid levels (oil, coolant, washer fluid, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Test battery and replace if necessary<\/li>\n<li>Use deicing washer fluid<\/li>\n<li>Switch to synthetic oil (handles the cold better)<\/li>\n<li>Inspect tire tread (replace at near wear limit)<\/li>\n<li>Test headlights and tail lights<\/li>\n<li>Add and inspect winter survival kit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>HOME WINTER SURVIVAL FOOD CHECKLIST<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canned fruits and vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Bread and condiments (keep bread frozen to last longer)<\/li>\n<li>Cereal and toaster pastries<\/li>\n<li>Crackers, nuts, fruit bars and chips<\/li>\n<li>Soups (some soups require water or heating)<\/li>\n<li>Meals ready to eat<\/li>\n<li>Bottle water<\/li>\n<li>Cookies and hard candy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\"><b>CAR WINTER SURVIVAL KIT CHECKLIST<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flashlights and extra batteries<\/li>\n<li>First aid kit<\/li>\n<li>Ice scraper<\/li>\n<li>Snow shovel<\/li>\n<li>Blankets\/sleeping bag<\/li>\n<li>Non-perishable food<\/li>\n<li>Bottled water<\/li>\n<li>Booster cables<\/li>\n<li>Extra clothing (hats, mittens\/gloves, warm coats, boots)<\/li>\n<li>Sand\/kitty litter (used for traction)<\/li>\n<li>Cellphone and charger<\/li>\n<li>Flares\/triangles and other bright objects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA \u2014 A winter storm moving into north and central Georgia is prompting new warnings from the National&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":539845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[235992,19367,238366,51,38888,19373,50,238367,52,235907,1431],"class_list":{"0":"post-539844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-brian_monahan","9":"tag-channel_2","10":"tag-dade_county","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-lafayette","13":"tag-metro_atlanta","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-northeast_georgia","16":"tag-top-stories","17":"tag-wsbforecast","18":"tag-wsbsyndication"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115951074364581312","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
