Peachtree City, GA — Georgia residents are facing a weekend of potential flood risks and hazardous weather conditions, as the National Weather Service (NWS) issued multiple warnings for Peachtree City and surrounding areas. As of Saturday morning, a hazardous weather outlook and flood warning remain in effect, with river flooding expected to impact roads, homes, and key routes near Line Creek and Flint River.
According to the NWS, the flood stage for the Flint River near Lovejoy has reached 19 feet, with major flooding expected to continue throughout the day and into Sunday. Residents living near Upper Riverdale Road, Mockingbird Road, and Museum Circle are advised to take immediate precautions, as these areas are highly susceptible to rising waters. Several roads in the region are expected to close, and local authorities have urged residents to avoid traveling through flood-prone areas. The NWS stresses the importance of avoiding flooded roadways, as most flood-related deaths occur in vehicles.
Looking at the broader forecast, Saturday will bring overcast skies and cooler temperatures, with highs near 78°F.

Flooding remains a major concern through Sunday, with mostly cloudy skies expected and a slight chance of rain developing in the afternoon.

Monday will offer a reprieve from rain, as mostly sunny skies are forecast with temperatures peaking around 81°F. Calm winds will ease the threat of further storm development. However, nighttime lows will dip into the low 60s, bringing cooler air and clearer skies overnight.
