Single digit temperatures are behind us, for now. A chance for a low centered over the snow belt to bring us some mixed precipitation Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will not dip below freezing long enough to impact commutes Thursday morning.

A steady temperature decline into the weekend is expected, with single digit temperatures returning Friday night. A winter storm will likely hit Athens overnight Saturday and continue into Sunday morning, impacting any travel. Right now, snowfall estimates are around 6 inches, but it is too far out to make predictions with much certainty. At this point in time, remain vigilant in weather-awareness as this system draws near.
