The Brief

- High temperatures will continuously climb into the upper 80s to cross the 90-degree mark.
ATLANTA – A stalled cold front combined with wide-open tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is bringing daily rounds of heavy downpours and lightning storms to metro Atlanta and north Georgia just in time for the holiday weekend.
Storms cause flash flooding
What we know:
Severe storms left parts of central Atlanta dealing with sudden flash flooding after a massive deluge hit the heart of the city. Radar estimates showed that some areas picked up 3.3 inches of rainfall in an incredibly short window of time.
While a few light showers are lingering through the late-night and early-morning hours, the overall severe weather threat remains low. There are currently no active watches or warnings for the region. However, localized pooling and street flooding remain possible wherever these downpours repeatedly set up.
