ATLANTA – Soggy weather patterns continue across metro Atlanta and North Georgia as another wave of atmospheric moisture moves into the region to close out the workweek.
Storms return Friday
What we know:
A moist weather pattern will keep rain and storms in the forecast through the weekend, with the highest threat for widespread heavy downpours arriving Friday afternoon and evening. The FOX 5 Storm Team notes that while widespread severe weather is not anticipated, localized flash flooding could become a problem because the ground is already highly saturated from recent rainfall.
There are currently no active watches, warnings, or advisories for the FOX 5 viewing area. However, localized runoff could quickly cause issues in low-lying or poorly drained locations if multiple storms cross over the same communities.
