As potential snow approaches metro Atlanta, forecasters say DeKalb County could see snow this evening through Wednesday morning.
Channel 2 Action News is calling for a rain mix from 4 to 6 p.m., changing to snow showers and light snow after 7 or 8 p.m. The snow could continue through “very early” Wednesday morning, meteorologist Brian Monahan said.
Up to an inch of snow is possible, he figures.
Drivers in the northern part of the metro area should be off the roads by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Channel 2’s Brad Nitz said.
DeKalb County is opening three warming shelters at 7 p.m.:
- Fire Station 3, 100 N. Clarendon Ave, Avondale GA 30002
- Fire Station 6, 2342 Flat Shoals Road, Atlanta, GA 30316
- Fire Station 21, 1090 Crown Point Pkwy, Atlanta GA. 30338
The closing date of the shelters is not yet determined.
