Atlanta weather | Chance of rain lingers through weekend
The rain that began overnight across metro Atlanta will likely linger through much of the weekend, forecasters said.
The heavy rain prompted the National Weather Service to post a flood warning before daybreak Friday for Big Creek in Forsyth County.
Rainfall totals through 7 a.m. included 2 inches in Cartersville, 1.36 inch in Marietta, 1.28 inch in Chamblee and .86 inch at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton said there’s a 70 percent chance of rain Friday, diminishing a bit to 40 percent Saturday before dropping to 20 percent on Sunday.
High temperatures will be in the low 70s Saturday and mid-70s Sunday, Minton said, with morning lows in the 60s.
