January 05, 2018 - Weather Briefing from the NWS Peachtree City

Good afternoon.
​Here's the latest from the Atlanta National Weather Service office in Peachtree City regarding the potential for freezing rain and icing Monday.

First, the text below is from the latest Area Forecast Discussion:
​-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously focused on late Sunday through Monday period with the
update as we are getting more guidance consensus (albeit the
latest Euro) on some freezing rain potential within a lingering
hybrid CAD wedge. Nam and the Canadian continue to be the
coldest/more robust solutions and the GFS ensemble members have
all but a few indicating some freezing rain including the Atlanta
Metro by Monday morning pretty much centered around 7 AM. Thermal
profiles support some possible sleet transition and not much
chance for snow, though primarily freezing rain given a pretty
thick warm nose overrunning the wedge. Big question remains on the
onset timing of precip and diabatic in-situ reinforcement
potential of the wedge. Kept the temp trend slower to warm into
Monday given this. Most locations should get above the freezing
mark by mid to late morning.

Also ended up fairly close to WPC QPF in the period and adjusted
the ice accumulations to mainly upwards of 2 tenths of an inch
though greater chance for closer to 1 tenth extending generally
from south metro farther north. WPC keeps us in primarily the less
than 1 tenth range. Will update accordingly and will need to
consider Watch/Advisory products if confidence increases in this,
but still too far out in period to include (also if the much drier
Euro starts to trend in consistency).
