Labor Day weekend will be a rain-soaked holiday interlude with heavy downpours expected across metro Atlanta.
A stationary front of saturation that has draped the region will cause Saturday to begin with some morning precipitation, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brad Nitz said.
“It’s been kind of meandering back and forth here for the last couple of days, and it’ll keep a few scattered showers around.”
