As rain moves into Cobb County and metro Atlanta Wednesday night, weather forecasters are saying enough will be coming to warrant a flash flood watch.
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City says the watch period will start at 6 p.m. Wednesday and continue through 7 a.m. Friday for north and much of middle Georgia.
Cobb is located in a line that could get between 3 and 4 inches during that time. Heavy rains are expected to start Wednesday night, up to six inches in some parts.
A 100 percent chance of rain Wednesday night is in the forecast, and a 100 percent chance is expected on Thursday. Temperatures will be warm, with highs in the mid to high 60s, but with a chance of rain at 80 percent later on Thursday and down to 40 percent as weather gets much colder.
Thursday night’s lows are projected to be in the high 30s, and while sunny, clear skies are forecast for Friday, the highs are forecast to be only in the mid 40s. Friday night will be clear with lows near freezing.
Rain and warmer weather are on tap for the weekend, with sunny skies and highs in the high 50s in the forecast for Sunday.
