Chris Holcomb and meteorologist,
Nicole Hartford of Front and Ce.
Yeah, Jeff, we have been dealing
with severe thunderstorms throut
the evening hours that have
been producing some large hail,
also some strong winds.
And then the bigger threat righw
is the very heavy rain that's mg
through our area and we have even more
rain that's going to be coming .
So this heavy rains coming in on
spots that have already experienced a
significant rainfall from earlier today
and we'll zoom in here closer to the city.
You'll be able to see this
green Polygon right here.
Many of you in the city may
have had the emergency alert.
System on your phones go off.
A little while ago that was
because of this flood warning.
Flash flood warning that is in effect
that includes much of the downtown area.
It goes down into S Fulton Coun,
northern parts of Clayton Count,
extending up into Gwinnett Coun,
Clayton de Kalb,
Fulton and also Gwinnett County.
This is a flash flood warning in
effect until 4:30 in the mornin.
Significant rain.
We have had reports of some
water rescues and some ramps on
the connector and on 85 that.
That have been flooded from allf
the heavy rain that's moving through.
We also continue to watch that
moderate to heavy rain continue
to move up toward the north.
Now we did have a severe thunderstorm
warning that just expired in a parts of
Hall County and also into Banks County.
They have not issued a new
one here in those areas,
but still some really heavy raip
around Gainesville to Jeffersono
commerce there in Banks County that's
moving up toward the north and ,
very heavy rain,
plenty of Thunder and lightning
with that and then elsewhere asu
can see what we're watching her.
Also down to this West of us,
back into Alabama stretching on up into
Noonan additional very heavy rain coming in.
I want to take you live right nw
to our storm Tracker Thunder tr.
This is a right there near the Buford
Highway connector moving down on to 85
where you can see the heavy rain that
is still moving through that area right now.
And again, we've had some sporac
reports of some ponding on the roads,
some cars that have stalled outn
some of this water on the roadw.
Another tower Cam that I want
to show you right now is in.
Noonan where we see very heavy n
coming down right now in the Noonan area,
of course dark there.
We have some Thunder and lightng
with this in those spots as wel.
Nicole Hartford joins us right .
Nicole, what I'm really concernd
about tonight is all of this ra,
all the water,
the flood threat that we have.
And of course, it's very dark.
And we're advising people,
if you're out tonight and you see water
on the road that's covering the road,
don't drive through it.
You just don't know if the
road underneath is washed out.
That's right. In addition to all
the heavy rainfall that we've s,
we're leading to a lot of flooding issues,
especially across the Atlanta
metro area with all the water,
and there's still more to come.
So we have that flash flood
warning for the Atlanta metro a,
but there's also a flood watch that will
remain in effect until 8:00 o'ck
tomorrow morning for portions oe
state down towards the South of0
and then also out towards Athen.
This means that with heavier rainfall
and with additional accumulatio,
we could see more flooding issues develop.
So if you are going to be on
on the roads late tonight,
early tomorrow morning,
especially while it's still dar,
you need to drive slow.
It's harder to see if there's.
Water at nighttime and just make sure
you don't drive through any of .
We have that flood risk which is
turning into our primary concer,
but there's still the possibilif
some strong to severe thunderst.
So there is also a severe thunderstorm
watch that remains in effect for
the Atlanta metro area portionsf
our region that will be in effet
until 1:00 o'clock this morning.
So just a couple more hours left
on that severe thunderstorm wat.
Correct. And Nicole folks are
going to be hearing the rain on
their roof for a big part of the
nighttime hours tonight as those
additional waves of rain come i.
From Alabama, stay with us.
We're going to keep tracking
those waves pushing through.
We'll have much more for you as to whether or
not this will linger into tomorrow morning.
Jeff, you know it's been a long day today.
That first wave of rain came in
early this morning that gave us
that confirmed tornado and a lof
damage South and West of the ci.
Now we appreciate all the
coverage that you have given us.
You've had a very long day in
tonight and we will be checkingn
with you in a couple of minutes.
