A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for parts of north Georgia through 7 AM tomorrow. Snow showers are likely with accumulations varying from a dusting to 1". Black ice is also a major concern as the wet roadways may freeze over to cause slippery conditions. If you have to go out tomorrow, wait until the sun comes up so you can somewhat see the ice.
