Georgia is a state with a humid subtropical climate, and receives ample rainfall throughout the year. Major surface flows include the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Ocmulgee Rivers, which are fed by numerous tributaries. Major reservoirs and dams, including Lake Lanier and Hartwell Lake, provide hydroelectric power and recreation opportunities. The state's hydrology is impacted by various factors, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and land use changes. Watershed data shows that the Chattahoochee River basin is the largest in the state, covering over 8,700 square miles. Snowpack is not a significant contributor to the state's hydrology, but occasional winter storms can impact water availability. Overall, Georgia's hydrology is shaped by its climate, topography, and water management practices.


       

Winter Storm Warnings

December 22 2025

Residents in parts of North Georgia and East-Central, including the northeastern region, are advised to exercise extreme caution as high fire danger conditions are expected this afternoon into the early evening. The National Weather Service reports that relative humidity will drop to as low as 15-25 percent for several hours, coupled with easterly winds of 7 to 12 MPH and gusts up to 20 MPH. Dry vegetation and these windy, low-humidity conditions greatly increase the risk of wildfires. Local authorities may have restrictions on burning outdoors; check with them before engaging in any such activities, and remain vigilant to prevent the outbreak and spread of fires.
