Dense fog north and central state advisory ended 9 am, more fog tonight
Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS streamflow gauges in Georgia
Patchy dense fog will have cleared off as of this report, the NWS Peachtree City had the dense fog hazardous weather outlook for north and central Georgia until 9am this morning. Overcast in the north and central areas at 64, a high of 81 and mostly sunny conditions expected for the day. More patchy fog is expected overnight. No rain or hazardous weather in the forecast.
Below normal streamflow measurements are increasing through the north midweek. The drought map has claimed an area on the Atlantic side of the state drainage divide, a portion of Savannah River watershed in the upper basin from Banks, Franklin, Madison, Oglethorpe and west Elbert County rated below normal. The drought map takes a 7-day average streamflow reading and plots this level against historic average streamflows, producing a rating, if below normal, the area will appear on the drought map. The degree below normal and duration of time below normal gives the advanced drought ratings, moderate, severe and extreme.
On the Mississippi River-Gulf of Mexico side of the drainage divide, Upper Chattahoochee River watershed remains below normal from west Lumpkin County through Dawson, east Pickens and Cherokee Counties. Tennessee River west watershed remains below normal includes Dade, Walker and Catoosa Counties. Coosa River watershed is below normal along the west state line including Chattooga County, south Floyd, the majority of Bartow County and all of Polk County. Tallapoosa River watershed remains below normal through Carroll and Haralson Counties.
As of this report there are no active flood events in the monitoring network, no extreme high or extreme low flows.
