00:41You know this is our next big weather maker.
00:43It's that winter storm that
00:44we've been tracking, right?

00:47starting across East Texas,
00:50moving through the Arklatex,
00:51eventually through the Tennessee Valley,
00:53the Mid South,
00:53and it's going to continue
00:55its journey further East,
00:57and it's still going to be packing
00:58a lot of the same punches
00:59when it comes to the icing concern
01:02and also the snow concern.
01:04Still quite cold there,
01:05even out ahead along the coast.
01:08Let's break this down for an area like Atlanta.

01:16bringing with it,

01:23as we are anticipating a wintry mix
01:25and even that potential for some ice,
01:29Saturday 39 or at least freezing rain.
01:31Sunday, we do dry out,
01:33but we're still going to hang on to that chill.
01:35It's not until Monday that we do start
01:37to rebound back up to the 50s,
01:39but it's not long live.
