Residents of Northwest Georgia should expect possibly patchy dense fog this morning, especially in areas affected by recent snow and ice melt. The National Weather Service reports that low moisture, fair skies, and light winds are favoring fog formation until 10 AM. At 3 AM, significant fog was not observed, but satellite images showed patches in northwest Georgia and over larger reservoirs.

Commuters should be careful, as black ice may remain from melting snow and ice. The forecast also predicts widespread sunshine and high temperatures between 39 and 44 degrees, which will help reduce remaining snow and ice.

From Monday night through Saturday, temperatures are expected to rise, with highs during the day reaching into the 40’s and 50’s. Lows overnight will start off in the teens at the first of the week and be to the mid 30’s by week’s end. There will be gusty winds, and as the next system approaches late in the week, rain is likely, with frozen precipitation more confined to areas north of us.

Residents should stay updated on changing weather conditions.
