PEACHTREE CITY - The National Weather Service Monday afternoon continued a flood watch for several north Georgia counties, including four in our area.

Forecasters said between one and three inches of rain has fallen across the watch area since Sunday afternoon, with an additional two to four inches possible through Wednesday morning. Locally higher amounts are possible as rain continued to train across the same areas.
