After avoiding icy conditions on Tuesday and drying out with warmer sunshine Wednesday, Cobb County and much of Georgia are in for rain and possible flash flooding through Friday morning.
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City issued a flash flood watch from 7 p.m. Wednesday to 7 a.m. Friday.
Rainfall between one and two inches could take place within the watch area, which extends south of Americus and east of Athens.
The flash flood threat, the NWS said, is due to soil being wet from previous rain this week.
There is a 90 percent chance of rain Wednesday night and that is expected to dissipate into Thursday.
Temperatures reached into the low 50s Wednesday, but highs will drop into the mid 40s Thursday through Saturday.
Lows Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be in the mid 30s as the chance of rain decreases.
There could be some snow showers Friday morning, followed by mostly sunny skies and a low in the mid 20s.
Saturday also will be sunny with highs in the high 40s and lows also in the mid 20s.
Slightly warmer weather moves in on Sunday, with sun and highs in the low 50s and lows in the high 30s, including a 30 percent chance of rain.
Next week starts with rain on Monday and gradually will be sunny with highs forecast to be in the 60s.
