A complex and dynamic weather pattern was in place across the eastern half of the U.S. at this time. A very deep full-latitude trough was sweeping through the eastern U.S. from January 24th into the 25th. A warm front was located across south Georgia, with an occluded front moving across north Georgia. Meanwhile, a stronger Canadian was located back to the northwest across the central and southern plains. Deep Gulf moisture was being drawn northward into central Georgia ahead of these weather systems. The main concern during this period was once again heavy rain and flooding as repeated rounds of showers and a few thunderstorms tracked from southwest to northeast in bands, which moved only slowly east during the day. Rainfall of two to three inches was common across central Georgia, with three to four inch rainfall amounts common across much of north Georgia. The heaviest rain fell across northwest Georgia, where some rainfall amounts near 5.0 inches were observed. The heavy rain on saturated ground renewed flooding of many creeks, streams, and rivers across the area. Flash flooding, however, was limited.
In addition, RAWS stations in far northwest Georgia at Cohutta in Whitfield county and Chatsworth in Murray county recorded winds gusts of 51 and 43 mph, respectively, during the late morning and early afternoon hours. However, no damage was reported.
