Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says we haven’t been in a pattern as wet as this one since last summer. The holiday weekend won’t be a washout, but rain and storms are likely each day.
By Tuesday, there is the chance for widespread rainfall totals between 2-3 inches or up to 4 inches in parts of north Georgia.
