A flash flood watch that began Sunday morning for northwest Georgia and that was to have ended Monday morning has been extended until 8 p.m. today.
The National Weather Service extended the watch for 22 counties, including Cobb County, as rain continues to fall, mostly between 1-2 inches but up to 3 inches in some areas.
The local forecast calls for an 80 percent chance of rain Monday afternoon, falling to 60 percent Monday night and all through Tuesday. There is a 70 percent chance of rain Wednesday, with partly cloudy skies emerging Wednesday night.
Thursday is expected to be sunny and clear, and the weather is forecast to stay that way into the middle of next week.
