More rain forming in south Georgia, the Florida panhandle and the Gulf of Mexico, will eventually make its way to an already soggy metro Atlanta.
A flood watch remains in effect until 7 a.m. Thursday for all of north Georgia.
Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist Brad Nitz says a warm front will makes its way through the metro starting around 9 p.m. Tuesday night that will usher in the latest round of rain by Wednesday afternoon.
Nitz says to expect widespread heavy rain by the lunch hour Wednesday with some embedded thunderstorms. Most areas will see about an inch of rain.
By Thursday morning that rain will works itself out of the metro and will only have a slight trace of showers by early morning.
Floodwaters remained high in Floyd County on Tuesday.
The owner of a Rome storage facility told Channel 2's Rikki Klaus they are taking action to keep the situation from getting worse.
"Thank God that I have my life, but everything that I own is in there," said Ashley Hampton, who has stored 90 percent of her stuff in the Armuchee Village Storage facility.
On Saturday, water overtook the storage facility, flooding all 310 units. Three days later, Klaus saw water still surrounding the building.
"Just upset over the situation and just feel that I should be compensated for losses that things that I don't have anymore," Hampton said.
Hampton told Klaus she doesn't have insurance on her stuff, including jewelry, kitchen supplies and a 55-inch TV.
She's upset because the Armuchee Village website advertises its climate-controlled units are "100% guaranteed waterproof".
"And when they have on their website that it's 100 percent guarantee water-proof, what would make you think to buy flood insurance?" Hampton said.
The owner, Louis Meyer, told Klaus over the phone in nine years in business on Martha Berry Highway, this is a first.
He says a dozen pumps are working to remove the water around the clock and he just hired a disaster mitigation team that responded after Hurricane Sandy, to prevent further damage.
Even still, Hampton said she feels cheated.
"Upset, shock, I was planning to get my own place, and now I'm like, what do I even put in my own place?" Hampton said.
Hampton said replacing everything would cost as much as $10,000. The owner said storage unit renters who decide not to get insurance must sign a waiver.
