A winter storm moving into north and central Georgia is prompting new warnings from the National Weather Service. An Ice Storm Warning has been issued for much of the area, including metro Atlanta.

The Winter Storm Watch from the National Weather Service was expanded Thursday to include the Atlanta metro area. See which counties are impacted.

A potentially dangerous ice storm is setting its sights on north Georgia this weekend. Weather officials are warning of treacherous travel, possible power outages, and days of lingering cold as Arctic air moves in behind the system.

The Winter Storm Watch was first issued on Wednesday and mostly included just counties in farther north Georgia. The expanded list of counties includes all of metro Atlanta and extends even into much of central Georgia.

The winter storm watch has expanded for more of north Georgia and metro Atlanta ahead of a storm with the potential of significant impacts.

High-resolution data is starting to filter in, and the National Weather Service may expand the Winter Storm Watch into the heart of the Atlanta area later today.

A major winter storm that could bring severe disruption to metro Atlanta and north Georgia is on the way, and 11Alive is planning to cover developments as they happen throughout the weekend. The best way to find our streaming coverage is through our smart TV app, 11Alive+.
