If you’re heading out early in Chattooga County and across Northwest Georgia, plan for slow, cautious travel this morning. Forecasters say dense fog is creating hazardous driving conditions through 10 AM.

The fog is being fueled by clear skies and calm winds overnight, allowing temperatures to drop and moisture to collect near the ground. Drivers may run into sudden “white-out” pockets, especially on rural roads, along valleys, and near waterways. Use low-beam headlights, leave extra distance, and expect visibility to change quickly from one stretch of road to the next.

Some areas in North Georgia started the morning near the freezing mark, but forecasters say freezing fog is not expected to create icy roads, because road temperatures remain above freezing.

Rain Returns Tonight Into Monday

After the fog lifts, light rain returns Sunday night into Monday morning, with expected totals ranging from 0.01 to 0.35 inches. The heavier amounts should stay farther south in central Georgia, but Northwest Georgia could still see periods of light rain overnight. No thunderstorms or flooding concerns are expected with this round.

Another Rain Chance Late Week

Looking ahead, forecasters say another round of modest rainfall is possible Thursday into Friday.
