Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia are in for a cloudy and cooler stretch today and tonight (Tuesday, March 3, 2026) as a cool-air damming (CAD) wedge strengthens across the eastern side of the state. That setup is being driven by high pressure positioned off the Upper East Coast, funneling cool, moist easterly winds down the eastern seaboard and into Georgia. The result locally will be a gray, low-cloud kind of day, with low ceilings pressing into the region and holding temperatures down compared to what you’d normally expect this time of year.
