A mix of light freezing rain, sleet, and rain will likely occur north and west of metro Atlanta (along and north of I-85 corridor)
Between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., an extended period (1-3 hours) of freezing rain and sleet is possible in an area between La Grange-Peachtree City up to Cedartown-Cartersville-Canton-Dawsonville. This may reduce snow totals but increase sleet/ice accumulations.
A changeover to ALL SNOW is still expected to occur later this evening and overnight (from northwest to southeast) with significant (4+ inches)

The freezing rain/sleet area will shift south as the transition to snow occurs north, this evening
