Overview
- A Flood Watch remains in effect through the evening for much of north and central Georgia as multiple waves of rain continue.
- Many locations have already received around 2 inches, with additional rounds likely for 8 to 12 hours and isolated North Georgia totals potentially reaching 4 to 6 inches.
- The greatest impact window is late morning through mid-afternoon, with the strongest storms most likely between 1 and 5 p.m. as the front moves through the metro area.
- Primary hazards include flash flooding—especially along and north of the I-85 corridor—and isolated damaging wind gusts, and forecasters say a brief spin-up tornado cannot be ruled out.
- Rain tapers this evening before a turn to dry, colder conditions, with highs near the upper 40s Sunday and temperatures dropping into the 20s by Monday morning.
