Spring is here but not the rain. 80% of the state is in a serious drought. These dry conditions will make small fires large quick. Keep that in mind while getting the yard spruced up for spring.

Severe storms then a freeze warning?!?! Just your typical Georgia weather for early spring.

A strong cold front will move through Georgia on Monday with the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms ahead of it. Scattered showers and storms could pop up on Sunday afternoon and evening, but the bulk of severe weather should begin to move into western Georgia early Monday morning. The window for severe thunderstorms in Georgia will be early Monday morning through Monday afternoon. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be possible in any severe thunderstorms.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Georgia in a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe weather on Monday. The risk category may be upgraded to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) for portions of Georgia prior to the system's arrival tomorrow. A broken line of storms will begin to move into Georgia on Monday morning and progress eastward. Supercell development ahead of the line is also possible, particularly in southern and eastern Georgia later in the morning. Storms should end from west to east throughout Monday afternoon.

An unseasonably cold airmass will move in behind the front on Monday afternoon. There will be a sharp drop in temperatures immediately behind the cold front, and some scattered snow showers will be possible in North Georgia Monday afternoon and evening. Surface temperatures will be several degrees above freezing with road temperatures even higher, so accumulations and impacts are unlikely with any snowfall. Low temperatures will bottom out in the upper 20s for most of North Georgia on Tuesday and Wednesday before a warming trend kicks in later in the week.

We cannot thank our Road Department enough for the tireless work today. While very few areas will be icy in the morning, many will not due to their dedication. If you are traveling early in the morning, please continue to use caution. Thank a Road Department crew member if you see them.

Serval accidents are occurring. There are still very icy sections of roads. They will come up quick on you. Slow down and drive with extra caution.

We hope your hearth looks like this one, drying out from memories made. We are sure more memories will be made tomorrow. Continue to stay off the roads and keep warm. Check on your neighbors, walking over to them of course. Some thawing and refreeze is expected. We will keep you updated on conditions. Have a great night.
