* A cold front will move southeast across the forecast area today. This front will bring another round of locally heavy rainfall to much of north Georgia. Rainfall amounts of one to two inches will be possible, with locally higher amounts possible. Soils remain saturated and several rivers, creeks and streams remain near or in flood, so any additional rainfall will only create run off and exacerbate ongoing flooding conditions.
