A wintry mix is moving through parts of north Georgia today. The snow will stay north in the mountains while metro Atlanta will have cold rain push through.

A little wet snow could mix in at times over the north metro, but no accumulations are forecast.

Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz and Meteorologist Brian Monahan are tracking the system.

A winter weather advisory was issued for Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, Rabun, Towns, Union, Walker, White and Whitfield counties.

Bartow, Cherokee, Haralson, Paulding and Polk counties and Clay County, NC. were added to the advisory Wednesday morning.

Monahan says accumulation of half an inch is expected in the areas under the advisory with up to an inch of snowfall in the higher elevations. The main impacts will be slippery roads, which caused several school districts to cancel, delay or move to virtual learning.

Monahan says the system will clear out by tonight and temperatures will drop with lows in the teens and 20s overnight.
