Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS streamflow gauges in Georgia
Patchy dense fog has cleared off from north and central Georgia as of this report, the NWS advisory issued 327 am Friday morning applied until 8 am.
Fair, 67 degrees for north and central Georgia today, mostly sunny with a high of 83 expected. Mostly sunny, high 82 for the south, the NWS warning moderate risk rip currents issued yesterday has not been extended today. Take note of high bacteria counts at Jekyll Island's Clam Creek Beach, 116 cfu per 100 ml and at the south end of Jekyll Island, St. Andrew's Beach with 380 cfu per 100 ml. These beaches at the mouths of the Satilla and St Mary's Rivers, respectively, are posted with permanent bacteria advisories. The latest bacterial counts are from Oct. 28 sampling. Prior testing in July found bacteria levels at zero.
Streamflows are largely back to normal in the south overnight, the below normal ratings observed yesterday in Flint and Ocmulgee Rivers are back to seasonal normal. Chattahoochee River is still running some levels below the 10th percentile, this could be due to controlled releases from the dams less than normal.
The drought map continues as reported midweek, no change. On the Atlantic side, Savannah River watershed is rated below normal in the upper basin from Banks, through Franklin, Madison, Oglethorpe and west Elbert Counties. The drought map displays the ratings below normal to extreme drought based on 7-day average streamflows compared against the historic average for the time period.
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.
