Cherokee County officials are encouraging residents to be prepared for local impacts this weekend from Hurricane Isaias. The National Weather Service has issued a high wind warning for Cherokee and other parts of north and west Georgia from midnight Saturday until 8 a.m. Sunday. A flood watch remains in effect for the area for the same time period. In a video message from Cherokee County Friday afternoon, EMA Director Daniel Westbrook said that Saturday's forecast calls for wind gusts of 40-50 mph, with locally higher gusts possible along ridgetops.

"In addition, isolated flash flooding is possible with rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches that could be locally higher in heavier rain bands. Isolated tornadoes remain a threat as well, especially Saturday afternoon and evenings." Residents are encouraged to be prepared for the storm and its effects.
