Thunderstorms, heavy rain and possible flooding are on the way for North Georgia tonight and Wednesday, the National Weather Service says.

Rain and scattered storms are expected ahead of a strong cold front that will push through the area on Wednesday. The strongest risk for severe storms will be in the afternoon.

A flood watch is in effect for most of north and central Georgia through 8 p.m. Wednesday, with as much as 2 to 4 inches of rain. Flooding is possible in low-lying and poorly drained areas.

A cold front predicted to push through on Wednesday could cause a few snow flurries in lower elevations on Christmas Eve and into Christmas morning, though there is little chance of any accumulation. The best chance for snow accumulation, about an inch, would be above 3,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.
