As Georgia prepares for potentially hazardous winter weather, forecasters are predicting snow showers to begin Tuesday afternoon, January 21, 2025. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued alerts warning residents to brace for colder temperatures, including wind chills dipping as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Officials encourage the public to avoid unnecessary travel during the forecasted inclement weather. Empty roadways are expected as residents heed warnings issued by local authorities, following the impacts of previous winter storms. Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry emphasized the need for safety, stating, “It’s important for everyone to stay off the roads if possible. We can’t treat the roads if people are out there, and we don’t want anyone to get into a dangerous situation.”
