Roswell Under Flood, Freeze Warnings as Wind Gusts Reach 40 mph

When exactly does spring actually get here? After a weekend of cold temperatures and cancelled spring events, we face more of the same over the next few days, including winds that are expected to reach 40 mph gusts.

The National Weather Service has issued the freeze warning and wind advisory for all of North and Central Georgia. Winds are out of the west at 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. A flood warning was extended by the National Weather Service into early today, as Big Creek was above flood stage at 7.3 feet and falling at midnight. Flood stage is 7 feet.

The winds could knock medium to large limbs from trees and even blow down weak or drought stressed trees.

Temperatures today are expected to only reach 45 degrees. Overnight and early Tuesday will hover around 30. Bundle the kids up for school – the freeze watch starts at 2 a.m. Tuesday, but it doesn't end until 10 a.m.

The freezing temperatures will impact early budding and flowering vegetation. Strong winds can make driving difficult. Boats, too, should exercise extra caution, as rough chop could occur on area lakes.

Temperatures on this spring morning, Monday, March 25, are in the mid 30s.
