We're on track for very cold air to move in next week. I'm watching for possible wintry weather, too. It looks like the right pattern is setting up for the Southeast in about a week, but a lot of ingredients have to come together. I'll be tracking the system live on Channel 2.

After rain Saturday, arctic air moves in for several days. Days below freezing, even for afternoon highs will be highly impactful with frozen pipes and broken water mains likely. Prepare to protect people, pets, pipes, and plants. I'm tracking the latest live on Channel 2.

Spalding County emergency management is reporting snow falling in Griffin now.

Early heads up on a severe weather threat next weekend. The timing may be late Sat. or early Sun. for us. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are possible across the southeast. Details on timing and threats will come later this week. We'll have that live on Channel 2.

A significant tornado threat will affect our area late Saturday - early Sunday. In addition, 70 mph+ wind gusts and 1-2" damaging hail are possible. Know your safe place, lowest level, away from windows, interior room. WSB weather app for warnings: wsbtv.com/weather-app

I have declared a State of Emergency ahead of the severe weather headed our way. This storm will hit at the worst possible time, as people are heading to or already in bed. Be prepared ahead of time and remain weather aware as long as this system is in the state.

Brian Monahan, WSB it’s thundering and lightning frequently here. I’m near Austell Road and East/West Connector
