Atlanta, Georgia – Showers and thunderstorms are set to drench north and central Georgia each day through Thursday, bringing the potential for street flooding and travel delays, especially in Atlanta and the surrounding metro area.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, persistent rainfall will continue across counties from Fulton and Gwinnett to Bibb and Muscogee. Showers and storms are expected every afternoon and evening, with the heaviest downpours possibly leading to localized flooding, particularly in low-lying neighborhoods and along major interstates like I-75, I-85, and I-20. New rainfall totals could exceed a quarter inch each day, and gusty winds may cause sporadic power outages.
Residents are urged to use caution during commutes and avoid driving through flooded roads. Keep devices charged in case of power disruptions, and monitor local alerts for any changes. No widespread hazardous weather is expected overnight, but the risk of flash flooding rises with each successive day of rain.
This pattern is expected to last through at least Thursday, August 7. Further watches or warnings may be issued if rainfall rates increase or flooding becomes more widespread.
