The remnants of Hurricane Ida continue to move through the Southeast, causing heavy rains and flooding that have prompted a flash flood watch that includes Cobb County.
The National Weather Service issued the flood watch for portions of northwest Georgia starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday through 2 p.m. Wednesday.
The watch area that includes Cobb is expected to get 3-5 inches of rain, raising the chances for flooding.
Heavy rains began in metro Atlanta Monday afternoon, and the forecast calls for a nearly 100 percent chance Tuesday and Wednesday.
High temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be in the high 70s but with high humidity, and lows in the high 60s.
The rain forecast calls for a 40 percent chance by Wednesday afternoon as the stormy weather clears out.
Sunny and warmer weather will return starting Thursday, with highs in the high 80s and lows in the high 60s through Friday.
The weekend and early next week will be the same, before rain is expected by the middle of next week.
