ATLANTA -- Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton says Tropical Storm Fay should bring windy weather to north Georgia on Friday. Showers are possible, but heavy rain is not expected Friday.

Minton says there's a chance of showers in the northern part of the state, which is on the fringes of the storm. Easterly winds are expected with gusts up to 25 mph.

Central Georgia has a higher probability of rainfall and should get even stronger winds. Heavier rain is likely farther south.

Saturday, the probability of rain increases in the north, with the storm pulling moisture into the state from the Atlantic Ocean as it slides toward the west.

There is a 40% chance of rain Saturday and Sunday in the metro Atlanta area.

South Georgia could get an inch or more of rain.

Georgia Farmers Hurry To Harvest Corn Crop Before Storm Hits

Georgia farmers are busy harvesting as much of their corn crop as possible before the arrival of high winds and heavy rain spawned by Tropical Storm Fay.

Al Breedlove, who grows 300 acres of corn and harvests for other farmers in southwest Georgia's Terrell County, says his customers are normally antsy when they have a crop ready for harvest. But with Fay expected to bring up to six inches of rain and winds of up to 25 mph to southern Georgia they're more concerned than usual.

High winds can topple the corn stalks and heavy rain could spawn a disease known as ear rot.

Breedlove says he doesn't worry about the weather, but is running his combines into the night to help gather what could be a 212 million dollar crop for Georgia farmers.

Charles Lamb, the University of Georgia's Extension Coordinator for Terrell County, says corn planted early has been ready to harvest for about two weeks.
