The National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Ga., has issued a flood watch through Thursday morning for much of North Georgia, including Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Gilmer, Chattooga and Gordon counties.
Forecasters say a strong southerly flow will continue to bring moisture across the Peach State and several “upper air impulses” will move across the state, providing the potential for heavy rainfall.
Meteorologists say widespread rainfall amounts of two inches with isolated amounts of three inches can be expected. As a result, they say minor flooding is possible.
The threat of heavy rain is generally north of a Carrollton to Atlanta to Danielsville line, according to predictions.
