Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by NWS Peachtree City 4 am Wed Nov 20
Patchy fog will reduce visibilities to less than one mile in a few
locations early this morning. Temperatures will drop nearly 20
degrees late this afternoon and this evening as a cold front sweeps
across the area. With gusty northwest winds, this will feel
significantly colder. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is expected.
Much cooler air will settle over the area into the weekend. Overnight lows will drop into the 30s across much of the area, with the potential for frost along with the possibility of freezing temperatures in the north.

Streamflow Situation from the network of the USGS monitoring stations in Georgia
Sunny, high 74 degrees Wednesday as measured at Warner Robins Air Force Base with dense fog clearing this morning, a cold front moving in. Rains yesterday have refilled the creeks and rivers overnight, the streamflow gauges recording much above normal to high water levels in the north, central Georgia runs mostly normal, the water levels pick up again in the south, much above seasonal normal, above the 90th percentile. Ohoopee River is still an inch out of the channel near Reidsville. Ogeechee River tucked back under flood stage just after midnight last night, currently running a couple of inches below the channel near Eden. See black tag on the map to the right for the flood details.
Hazardous Spill File
Custom Building Products in Lithia Springs experienced a spill of ethylene glycol last week. Production/Safety personnel at the Sweetwater Industrial Boulevard location explained 150 to 200 gallons of the product was spilled. Personnel on site contained the spill with absorbent material and allowed it to dry before containerizing for pick up and final disposal. Law Chemical out of Woodstock was called in to assist with the clean up. Under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, a licensed agent must be called in to transport and store materials classified as hazardous. Hats off to the quick response and clean up by Mike and his team at Custom Building Products, three huge containers have already been picked up and removed for proper disposal, the remaining three containers are going out via Law Chemical this week.
