It's safe to say this four-legged friend is a fan of the snow! πΆβοΈ Did your pets appreciate all of the white stuff? Thanks for sharing, Zach Landress!

A curious deer came to inspect a snowman in Ellijay. Ben and Karen Coltrane snapped this picture from their cabin at the Coosawattee River Resort.

MOTHER NATURE PACKS A PUNCH! Downtown Atlanta is no exception. In addition to flooding around the city, a lightning strike hit downtown, not far from the Capitol Building. Thanks Nancy Culley for sharing this with

Winter Storm Watch for a large portion of north GA late Mon night through Tue evening. Up to 2" of snow is possible. Higher amounts mountains. Temperatures in the 20's Tue night/Wed morning will lead to ice on roadways that aren't cleared or treated.
If you are a night-owl, get out tonight to check out Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the southeast sky. You'll be able to see all three as we approach midnight. After today, cloud cover and rain chances will make it tougher to see the night sky through the work week.
Hope you enjoyed the warmer weather today! Sunday should be just as nice with highs again in the mid to upper 60s. Crazy to think that it was snowing just a few days ago.
No relief from
#pollen
this morning. Insanely extreme
#pollen
count of 4,666! Major pollen contributors today are trees: pine, oak, sweet gum, sycamore, birch. Unlike yesterday, grass is high too. Absolutely miserable out there.
Check out the SW sky over the next few evenings. You'll be able to see Saturn & Jupiter within 0.1Β° of each other (from our perspective on earth) on Dec. 21st. They will appear closer than they've been in about 400 years so you could see them in a single telescope view.
RAIN! We need it...and it's coming. Rain will build in tomorrow, with heaviest amounts likely falling along and south of I-20. Hour-by-hour forecast ahead on

Each day will be warmer than the previous one through next Saturday. Dry, NW flow will keep the clouds at bay into Monday afternoon then gulf moisture will return starting Tuesday. Expect more afternoon clouds by then but we're looking to be a good 20Β°F above average Saturday.
Hopefully you have some outdoor plans on this Sunday. It's going to be a gorgeous afternoon with a good deal of sunshine and afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Here's a beautiful shot from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport this morning. Current air temps across the Fox5 viewing audience is in the upper 50s to mid 60s with comfy dew point temps in the 50s. Official sunrise is 7:40am. Get out and enjoy the fall-like feel out there.
It is a heartfelt message to their friends and neighbors in North and South Carolina who have been battered since Thursday evening by

WOW! This photo belongs on a Christmas card. Here's a shot from Town Creek in north Georgia, taken by Christy and Jackie Evans, after this morning's snowfall.

Humidity returns by the end of the week. We'll start to feel the difference from Thursday into Friday. But this break from the muggy air sure is nice for now!

It was a winter wonderland in Dacula, and it looks like this kiddo was dressed for the occasion! Thanks for sharing, Alison Quintero. βοΈ

Storms closer to I-10 has robbed atmospheric instability farther north. As a result, the SPC has lowered the severe threat across North Georgia. The level 1 (marginal) risk now includes areas along and north of I-20 as well as the southern edge of the perimeter.
Tropical Storm Sally is pulling away from the west coast of Florida now -- it will likely strengthen into a hurricane sometime tomorrow, and then take aim at the coast (models currently indicating Louisiana) with a landfall possible early Tuesday morning.

If you are heading out the door right now, check out Mars sitting low in the western sky. It's at one of its closest approaches to earth and at opposition so it will appear nice and bright for the next several days.

I'LL HAVE A (COLD) CHRISTMAS... Temperatures will remain near freezing all Christmas Day, with some breezy conditions, too. Good news -- mostly sunny skies!

If you are up early Tuesday morning (around 5am), check out the southeast sky. You'll be able to see Saturn and Jupiter rising. You have about two hours of viewing as sunrise is at 7:09am. Night-owls will be able to check out Mars in the west sky this evening until midnight.
Record to near record heat is possible through the entire work week. It will certainly be hot but it won't feel humid for a good part of this upcoming heat wave.
GOOD MORNING! A pleasant and very quiet start to the day and week, with current temperatures in the 50s. No umbrella needed for the next few days -- but that'll likely change by the end of the week. Details on

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening. The remnants of what will soon likely be Tropical Storm
#Claudette
is expected as pass across North Georgia on Father's Day. Rounds of heavy rainfall could bring flash flooding to the area, esp Sunday.
A beautiful look at the predawn sky on the 101 Marietta cam. While we'll see more clouds today, most (if not all) of the Fox-5 viewing audience will stay dry during the daytime hours. Expect scattered shower chances to increase tonight, especially late.
11 AM advisory: Extremely dangerous Hurricane Michael closing in on the panhandle of Florida. Winds: 145 mph category 4. Landfall around 2 PM with catastrophic wind and storm surge.
Strong to severe storms overnight give way to cold air and the potential for early morning winter weather in North Georgia. This model showing the changeover happening around 2-3am. Details on

A newly discovered comet can be seen in the northeast sky. For now, the best time to see Comet Neowise is about an hour before sunrise very low in the northeast sky (lower left of bright Venus). Over the next week and the rest of July, the comet can also be seen just after sunset
This snowman in Dacula looks ready for spring training. And we're sure the
