The strong storms that brought thunder, lightning and heavy rain to metro Atlanta before daybreak have moved into south Georgia, but low clouds and fog left behind are causing delays for flights at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported departure delays up to 45 minutes at 11:30 a.m. as fog cut the visibility at the airport to a quarter-mile.
Rainfall totals from the predawn storms ranged from .68 inch at the airport and .72 inch in Peachtree City to .89 in Marietta.
Another slight chance of rain is forecast for Tuesday night into Wednesday, followed by a return to winter-like temperatures later in the week.
Monday night will be mostly cloudy, with lows around 40 degrees, the National Weather Service said.
Partly sunny skies are forecast for Tuesday, with highs in the mid-50s.
There's a 20 percent chance of showers after 1 a.m. Tuesday night, when lows will be in the mid-30s.
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy, with a 20 percent chance of showers before 1 p.m. and highs in the upper 40s. Any rain could be mixed with a little snow in the far northern suburbs, the Weather Service said.
Lows will be in the mid-20s Wednesday night and again on Thursday night, forecasters said.
