Freeze, Sunshine, and a Midweek Weather Turn for Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia

Local News, Local News Items #BlackIce, #chattoogacounty, #ColdFront, #DryAir, #FireDanger, #georgiaweather, #HardFreeze, #LookoutMountain, #northwestgeorgia, #summervillega, #trionga, #WindChill, #WinterWeather 0

Sunshine rules the day across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia, as temperatures stay below freezing through the early morning with lows in the low 20s and even upper teens in the higher elevations. While the biggest black ice concern is tied to places that still have leftover moisture from yesterday’s precipitation, drivers around northwest Georgia should still be cautious on bridges, shaded roads, and spots that don’t see early sunlight. The good news is that ample sunshine will help temperatures rebound quickly, pushing readings above freezing by mid-morning and fading any lingering slick-spot risk before late morning.
