The wind advisory and flood watch caused by stormy weather last night and into midday will close out this evening at 7 p.m., and fortunately for Polk County not much damage was done overall.

Officials from the Polk County Emergency Management Agency reported that only a few trees went down during the storm – four reported in total to the EMA – to go along with localized flooding.

So far, water topping Furnace Street in Cedartown at Big Spring and the ever-present flooding problems on Prior Street are the only big headaches caused by the storm’s flooding.

Based on photos provided by one local reader, Seaborn Jones Park also flooded as a result of heavy rainfall still draining as the sun finally peeked out from the clouds heading into the afternoon hours.

Temperatures are then set to start dipping as cold air moves in behind the storm front that pushed through. A low of 31 is expected overnight as windy conditions continue, but not to the level of overnight gusts that were predicted to get past 40 mph. Tonight winds are only expected to gust at 35 mph, with sustained breezes of between 15 and 20 mph in the forecast and a small percentage chance of precipitation.

Look for partly sunny skies on Wednesday before warmer weather returns on Thursday and Friday, but a big freeze is coming again starting over the weekend for the MLK Day holiday on Monday, January 15.
