More than an inch falls at WTVM studios as Weather Atlanta stays wet

weather atlanta stayed wet Wednesday night as rain and storms kept pushing through at times, and more than an inch of rain had already fallen at the WTVM studios. More rain was expected late Wednesday into Thursday morning and again on Saturday.

WTVM Studios rain

The rain that fell through much of Wednesday kept the air cooler and more stable in the area, limiting the chance for severe weather. The same system was described as beneficial rain, but it was not expected to be enough to get the area out of the drought.

Late Wednesday into Thursday morning

For readers dealing with slick conditions overnight, the practical part is timing: the next round was expected late Wednesday into Thursday morning, after rain and storms continued to move through at times during the night. That leaves a narrow window before the next wet stretch begins again.

Saturday rain

The forecast also pointed to another round on Saturday. With more rain still expected after the overnight period, the pattern remained unsettled enough to keep the area from drying out quickly, even as the day’s cooler air held severe-weather chances down.
