Severe weather headed towards South Georgia


ALBANY, GA --
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon.

We can expect ice accumulations from a tenth to a quarter of an inch, with locally higher amounts possible. 1 to 2 inches ofsleet or snow is possible along and north of a line from Geneva to Tifton. Elsewhere snow amounts will range from a trace to a quarter of an inch.

The main impact will be icy roads and bridges making driving hazardous. Even small amounts of icing can have significant impacts to travel in the deep south.

If there is more freezing rain than currently expected, power outages could become a concern. Temperatures will be near or below freezing Tuesday night and Wednesday, with wind chills in the teens and 20s.

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of ice, sleet, or snow are expected or occurring. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
