Snow in Atlanta? Winter storm may hit Georgia this week
How soon could metro Atlanta see snow?
How soon could metro Atlanta see snow? Here’s a look at your FOX 5 Storm Team forecast with Meteorologist Julie Martin.
Midwest winter storm approaches metro Atlanta
ATLANTA – As a massive winter storm continues to batter the Midwest, metro Atlanta is bracing for its own bout of severe weather.
The storm, which has already brought blizzard conditions to Kansas and northwestern Missouri, is moving eastward.
While the heaviest snowfall is expected to impact areas further north, our entire region is preparing for a significant drop in temperatures and blustery conditions, according to FOX 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Julie Martin.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings stretching to the East Coast, affecting approximately 63 million Americans. In metro Atlanta, residents are experiencing chilly and wet weather, with winds expected to gust up to 35 mph.
Metro Atlanta temperatures drop
As on Sunday evening, weather models showed that temperatures in Atlanta would start in the 50s on Monday morning, but would plummet as a cold front moves through the area. By the afternoon, temperatures are expected to drop into the 30s, with wind chills making it feel like the 20s in some parts of North Georgia.
Will it snow in Atlanta?
While significant snowfall is not anticipated in metro Atlanta, there is a possibility of light flurries in North Georgia.
The cold weather is expected to persist throughout the week, with lows in the 20s. Looking ahead to next weekend, there is a 40% chance of a wintry mix on Friday into Saturday, depending on the development of a low-pressure system.

Here’s the latest from FOX 5 Storm Team meteorologist Alex Forbes on the threat at the end of the week.
Metro Atlanta snow, flurry travel tips

The tower at 1105 W. Peachtree St., which bears Google’s logo, recently secured a new loan at a time many landlords are struggling to do so.

It hasn’t been easy the past few years to be an office landlord.
Many tenants shrunk their workspaces coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning buildings that lost rental revenue also lost value. Interest rates surged. Many banks got gun shy over having too much money lent to office tower owners, and a whole lot of loans have been coming due.

ATLANTA – A Mexican national will spend the next 30 years in federal prison for operating clandestine methamphetamine laboratories across the Atlanta area, federal officials announced Wednesday.
What we know:
Ramiro Contreras-Sandoval, 41, of Michoacán, Mexico, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross following his conviction for running conversion labs that housed more than 135 kilograms of liquid methamphetamine hidden in paint buckets. Contreras-Sandoval, who also went by several aliases including Manuel Santiago Vazquez and “Mirin,” was also convicted of possessing firearms as an illegal alien to protect his drug trafficking operation.
The investigation began in April 2019, when law enforcement seized the methamphetamine mixture from a conversion lab in Morrow, Georgia. Contreras-Sandoval and his co-defendant, Genaro Davalos-Pulido, fled the area after a vehicle they were using to transport the drugs was stopped by police.
The pair remained at large until the fall of 2021, when agents tracked them to a neighborhood in Norcross, Georgia. During a search of a Norcross residence, agents discovered a full-scale liquid meth operation, a loaded Beretta handgun, $84,000 in cash, and a .50-caliber rifle that appeared ready for shipment to Mexico. Contreras-Sandoval was arrested nearby with approximately $12,000 in his vehicle and pockets.
What they’re saying:
“This case should send a clear message to anyone thinking about running drugs or using deadly weapons to protect their operation: the federal government will relentlessly seek justice and protect the community from drug traffickers,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg.
“Operating methamphetamine labs is a reckless and dangerous crime,” said Jae W. Chung, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Division. “This conviction underscores that DEA will aggressively pursue anyone who engages in drug trafficking activities that put lives at risk.”
What’s next:
Contreras-Sandoval’s 30-year sentence will be followed by five years of supervised release. His co-defendant, Davalos-Pulido, previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in October 2024.
