ATLANTA -- North Georgia is in for some cold weather with snow likely.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for parts of north Georgia from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon.

Cold rain, possibly mixed with snow at higher elevations, is expected in north and central Georgia on Friday.

With temperatures dropping to around freezing Friday night, that could transition to snow, sleet and freezing rain in north Georgia Friday night and early Saturday.

The weather services says the north Georgia mountains may get 3 to 6 inches of snow and sleet, with 1 to 3 inches expected at lower elevations across the northern part of the state.
