After a brief respite from the rain on Tuesday, wet weather has returned to most of Georgia, and the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch that includes Cobb County.
The watch began Wednesday morning and continues until 1 p.m. Thursday. A watch means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding to occur, especially around rivers, streams and creeks.
The watch zone is generally below Interstate 20 but also includes metro Atlanta.
The NWS office in Atlanta reported that between 1-2 inches had fallen in central Georgia Wednesday morning, and that another 1.5 to 3 inches could fall in the watch area by Thursday afternoon.
The chance of rain in Cobb is 90 percent for the rest of Wednesday and Thursday morning, reducing to 20 percent by Thursday night.
Highs Wednesday will be near 60, with lows Wednesday night dropping to the high 40s. Thursday’s highs will be in the low 50s and Thursday night’s low around 40.
Friday will be sunny and clear with a high in the low 50s, and the weekend will be the same, with Sunday’s high in the low 60s.
Low temperatures Friday and Saturday will be around freezing.
