And Jonathan, I know you were tracking some flurries
in the northern Appalachian region.
So the question I have is,
is the snow flurrying or flaking here in North Georgia?
Oh, I like that. You know how, you like how I talk.
Flurrying or flaking, you know.
The forecast is getting flaky. I'm going to show you the modeling here.
And I just don't really see a great opportunity, but...
You know, it's our first stab at winter.
I think we have plenty of opportunity.
We have a whole lot of time.
Listen.
We could be doing this all the way into April.
And with the way I've heard
the El Nino pattern is, we might get more snow.
And that's what we have to really kind of get our heads wrapped around,
is that this is going to likely be a commonality.
Now, this particular pattern today is not guided by, you know,
I won't say it's an impulse from the...
Polar vortex. It's going to take a while
for that thing to break it loose and bother us.
But I think we'll be in these patterns where we
get really cold really quickly and we'll stay
cold for like three or four days.
And if there is some precip around, if there's some moisture.
Which is likely going to be the case because of the Super El Nino,
which means a wetter southern United States.
I think if those two things intersect, we have pretty good
opportunities for some winter weather across North Georgia.
Tonight we're going to keep it dry.
You see this cloud symbol up there in Blairsville, 31 degrees.
You got some moisture just a wee bit of moisture.
That's my window of opportunity for maybe a few passing flurries.
In terms of tomorrow, there's utter sunshine tomorrow.
Yes, we had to deal with the stifling
clouds today and that really capped our sunshine
or the expression of the sunshine, but tomorrow
It's sunshine all day.
The winds are still whistling a bit.
I think we'll be able to pop a gust near 15 miles an hour.
We'll
So we'll do some 40s and 50s.
That's all I got for you.

It's football weather, but look at this.

back.
That's quite the doozy. After all this is
what you have in the way of your snowfall potential. Once again I don't
think there will be much of a collection
on the ground. A Brasstown bald to some
of the higher points will be worth considering.
Vogel State Park may have
some nice
I won't even say a coating, a dusting at best,
but it looks like your better chances are
up in western North Carolina.
Look at the modeling here.
If you blink, you missed it because you already missed it.
Maybe a little bit of pink between the hours of 8,
9, 10 o'clock, but I still think it's
maybe not even cold enough for anything
to stick there, so we'll see if it happens.
Of course, meteorologist Alex Forbes,
he loves this kind of thing, so he'll be tracking it
tomorrow morning on Good Day Atlanta.
It's going to be chilly up in the mountains.
Look at these temperatures, 21 degrees.
If it's going to be this cold, Ariel.
We got to have some snow.
Marquise is standing by,
and he'll have your seven-day forecast starting at 5.
Looking forward to it, Jonathan.
