As frigid air settles into Chattooga County behind the weekend rain, volunteers with the Chattooga County Community Resource Center will continue operating a warming station at 150 Third Street in Summerville, located in the gym above the CRC Food Bank.

The warming station will remain available through Wednesday morning, January 28, 2026, and is scheduled to close at 9:00 a.m. that day.

The warming station hours are 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday and Tuesday. If power outages occur, the site will transition to continuous operation to provide a safe, warm place for those who need it.

Chattooga County Public Works, city maintenance departments, and local law enforcement will continue monitoring road conditions and treating roadways as needed.

Residents are urged to stay weather-aware as dangerously cold conditions will be with us for the next couple of days.

Drivers should use caution if traveling, particularly this evening and overnight as temperatures drop.

While Chattooga County and all of Northwest Georgia remain under an Ice Storm Warning, the National Weather Service forecast for our area is calling for only a slight chance of freezing rain before 10 AM this morning. Early temperatures were running marginal for widespread icing, with LaFayette and Mentone hovering just below freezing at 31 degrees, while Gaylesville, Alabama and Rome were closer to 40. Summerville was sitting at 35 degrees. Those readings are a bit warm for freezing rain in many spots, but sleet could still fall anywhere across the area, especially in heavier bursts of precipitation.
