A wintry mix of precipitation is possible tonight and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Light accumulation of snow will be possible across portions of North Georgia tonight with snow from Friday night expected to continue into Saturday morning.

The chance of rain and snow mix extends across north Georgia and southward into Central Georgia, mainly north of a Columbus to Macon to Augusta line. However, accumulation will be limited to far north Georgia with an additional two tenths of an inch possible on Saturday for a total accumulation from Friday night and Saturday night of around an inch in the higher elevations.
