Atlanta, GA – A flood watch remains in effect for much of north and central Georgia through Thursday morning as a major storm system moves across the region. Heavy rain could bring 3 to 5 inches of precipitation, with localized areas seeing up to 7 inches, increasing the risk of flash flooding along rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service, the heaviest rain is expected Tuesday night into Wednesday, with gusty winds reaching 20 mph. Roadways, including major corridors like I-75 and I-20, could see hazardous conditions due to standing water and reduced visibility. Residents in flood-prone areas should be prepared to take action if conditions worsen.
By Thursday, rain chances decrease, but scattered thunderstorms could persist into the morning. Temperatures will reach a high of 65°F on Thursday before cooling to 38°F overnight. The rest of the week will see drier conditions, with sunny skies Friday and highs near 59°F.
Officials advise monitoring forecasts and avoiding flooded roads. Stay updated through local emergency alerts and the National Weather Service.
