.DAY ONE...This afternoon and Tonight...

...Flash Flood Watch in effect for extreme north Georgia through

of a line from Carrollton to Atlanta to Athens...and mainly
between noon and 10 PM this evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday...

Showers and thunderstorms will continue across north and central
Georgia Tuesday, and ending from the north on Wednesday. A few of
these storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain.
There is another chance of thunderstorms across the northeast
mountains Saturday, and then across the entire region Sunday.
