Flashes of spring were abounding in East Cobb this week, including blooming trees above at the Sunrise at East Cobb senior care home on Johnson Ferry Road.
But the National Weather Service in Peachtree City said Friday that steady rain and colder temperatures could result in some winter weather issues Saturday and Sunday.
The NWS has issued a winter weather advisory for Cobb County and most of north and central Georgia through Sunday morning, as a storm system moves through Saturday night.
Temperatures in the advisory area overnight Saturday into Sunday morning are forecast to be in the mid- to upper 30s, and higher elevations in North Georgia could get a mix of rain, freezing rain and snow.
The NWS said that “any snow mixed with rain should not result in road or any other impacts” at elevations below 2,000 feet.
Cobb government said in a social media message late Friday afternoon that “just in case, Cobb DOT crews will be ready to respond if the roads get slippery.”
Rain begins Friday night and continues in the morning and afternoon on Saturday, with highs in the low 50s.
The low expected in the Cobb area Saturday night is in the mid 30s, with an 80 percent chance of rain/snow Sunday morning.
Highs Sunday are forecast in the mid 40s, dipping to near freezing Sunday night as the weather conditions dry out.
Monday will be sunny and warmer, with highs around 60, and getting warmer in the week, although there is rain in the forecast as well.
Next weekend is expected to be sunny and nearing 60 degrees next Sunday.
