A high impact winter storm is ahead for many states especially Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, parts of New Mexico, Arkansas, Missouri, parts of Kansas, Middle and western Tennessee, Northwest and northern Alabama, parts of Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana and Louisiana. Extreme and in some cases historic cold air is playing a big role with this storm. Travel will be difficult if not impossible in many states especially much of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, parts of Missouri and eventually western and middle Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Mississippi. This will mostly be an ice event for Northern and northwest Alabama. It is important to note totals will vary significantly this is just an estimate. Heavier narrow snow bands are likely to develop across the Plains and Mid-South where those set up that is where the higher totals will be. Also, in parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and southeast Texas sleet and freezing rain will mix and that could cut down snow totals. So around Nashville, Jackson, Alexandria and Houston sleet and freezing rain could cut down on some of the totals on the map below. More sleet and freezing rain means less snow for some areas. Stay safe and as always stay weather aware. If you do not absolutely have to be out in these conditions stay home. This looks like a Rain event for the majority of Georgia and eastern and southern Alabama. Areas south and east of Birmingham mostly rain. Areas around West Georgia and ATL mostly just rain. Atlanta hasn't had a widespread accumulating snow event since January 2018. Between 2 and 4" of rain is possible in Georgia over the next 7 days with the heaviest rain coming Monday PM and early Tuesday and another round of rain some of which could be heavy next Thursday.
