A cold front is pushing into Northwest Georgia this morning, bringing periods of light, hit-or-miss showers as it advances south and east. In Chattooga County, the pattern favors scattered rain that becomes more broken and less organized through the day, with rainfall amounts generally staying on the lighter side. Temperatures will remain chilly but typical for mid-January, with afternoon readings mainly in the 50s across much of Northwest Georgia outside of the higher terrain.
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.
Georgia State Patrol Troopers and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers will be out in force this week as the Thanksgiving travel period begins. The 102-hour travel window starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday, November 26, and runs through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, November 30. Officials say the goal is to reduce crashes and keep the record number of holiday travelers safe on Georgia’s roads.
