We have no severe weather or winter weather issues on Saturday. In fact, temperatures are much warmer to start the weekend. We climb into the mid-to-upper-60s.
For Saturday night, moisture continues to increase, and we are looking pretty soggy as widespread rain showers are likely. Again, temperatures are above freezing, so we only have a cold rain across the area for the overnight.

ACCUMULATION: On the ground, temperatures are above freezing (33-36 degrees). As a result, most of what falls will melt. So, we are expecting no accumulation for most of the region. However, a few spots could see a light dusting or a light coating in the grass, on roofs and on cars. Right now, the better chance of a coating looks to be in our South Georgia counties.
IMPACTS: This is a completely different system from January of 2025. This weather system is quick-moving and dealing with above-freezing air. As a result, we are not anticipating major impacts at this point.
