Ice Problems?

* Everything is set for rain to begin across the area tomorrow, but the big forecast issue is the potential for some light freezing rain as far south as Interstate 20.

* Rain will continue Saturday and into Saturday night. By early Sunday morning, temperatures will fall to or just below freezing from roughly I-20 north. If there is any precipitation still falling at that point, it would fall in the form of some light freezing rain or freezing drizzle. The best chance of this will come north of a line from Newton to Macon. We don't anticipate a significant event out of this, but it most assuredly bears close watching. The arctic airmass is quite shallow, and these very shallow airmasses often give our computer models a hard time. Any adjustment of this airmass will result in large changes to this forecast, so be sure to check back frequently...

* Regardless, temps will warm back above freezing late Sunday and we'll see the cold rain resume. The stalled front responsible for the rain will stay draped across our area, so we'll continue with rain chances through much of the first half of next week.
