A new round of rain is forecast for much of Georgia from Wednesday through at least Thursday. But while the state still needs precipitation in the big picture of the drought, the rain is not welcome news for saturated south Georgia. The region is still trying to recover from flooding over last weekend. Earlier this week, Governor Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency in six south Georgia counties.
Because of concerns over flooded roadways, some school systems in south Georgia are closed today: Baker County; Berrien County; Brooks County; Colquitt County; Cook County; Miller County; Mitchell County; Pelham City Schools; Baconton Charter School; and no dual-enrollment classes for Colquitt County High School.
