The rain continues to fall in most areas of north Georgia this morning, and that is good news for the region of the state gripped with severe drought conditions. Matt Sena with the National Weather Service in Peachtree City says this multiple-day run of precipitation is significant.
"It's hard to bust a drought with one event but we have the potential to put a pretty big dent in it".
Forecasters say the rain has a good chance to continue well into Wednesday in north Georgia. Most everywhere will get at least an inch of rain, with many areas more than that. Throughout today, a flash flood watch is in effect for north Georgia, as well as west and portions of central Georgia.
Meanwhile, reports from Lake Lanier are positive. The federal reservoir that feeds much of metro Atlanta’s drinking water rose 3 inches in less than 24 hours time.
