ATLANTA — Heavy rain and isolated storms are moving out of north Georgia this morning, only after dropping several inches of rain over the area over the last couple of days.
Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz tracked flooding in parts of metro Atlanta that started late Wednesday and went into the early morning hours on Thursday. The rain prompted several flash flooding warnings in west Georgia.
