Winter Storm Warning Issued for Fulton Counties: Up to 9 Inches of Snow Expected

Fulton County, [State] – A winter storm warning has been issued for Southern and Northern Fulton Counties, effective from 7 a.m. Tuesday until 1 a.m. Wednesday. The National Weather Service forecasts total snow accumulations of 6 to 9 inches.

Moderate to heavy snowfall is anticipated, with rates of 0.5 to 1 inch per hour. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution, as roads, bridges, and overpasses are expected to become slick and hazardous. Travel could be difficult, if not impossible, during this period.

“The hazardous conditions could impact both the morning and evening commutes today,” the National Weather Service warned. If travel is unavoidable, residents are advised to keep an emergency kit in their vehicles, including a flashlight, food, and water.

The weather service also reminds drivers to slow down, be aware of potential icy patches, and watch for falling tree limbs or power lines. If possible, avoid driving altogether.

If you must travel:

  • Share your travel plans with family or friends.
  • Prepare your vehicle with a full gas tank, windshield scraper, jumper cables, shovel, flashlight, cell phone, blanket, extra warm clothing, drinking water, and non-perishable food.
  • Stay calm if stranded and notify someone of your location. Signal for help with a cloth on your antenna or mirror and use your dome light and flashers.
  • Be aware of snow plows and give them ample space.
  • Check road conditions before your journey.

The National Weather Service urges residents to prioritize safety and exercise caution to reduce the risk of accidents during these challenging weather conditions.
