A Flood Watch remains in effect through 8 PM Saturday for Northwest Georgia, including Chattooga County, as periods of moderate to heavy rainfall keep flash flooding a concern into the afternoon and evening.
Chattooga County and communities across Northwest Georgia are heading into a wetter, more active stretch of weather as multiple rounds of rainfall build in this afternoon and continue into Saturday. With repeated waves moving over the same areas, forecasters say there’s an increasing chance for localized flash flooding and river flooding, especially in low-lying spots, poor-drainage neighborhoods, and areas near creeks and streams.
