Feb 23, 2022
A stalled cold front moved into northwest Georgia late on February 22, 2022. This front combined with anomalously moist and unstable conditions to produce training showers and thunderstorms that resulted in heavy rainfall over northwest Georgia. A Flood Watch was issued for north Georgia, and while widespread flash flooding was not observed, isolated river flooding occurred in Dade and Catoosa counties. The rapid rise of Lookout Creek in Dade County occurred in under 6 hours.
