Thank you Fay
While Fay has been a disaster for some, it has been a blessing for N.
Georgia.
Fay bringing drought relief to metro Atlanta
The rains forecast for Monday and for the rest of this week have the
potential to put a decent dent in Georgia’s drought, a National Weather
Service meteorologist predicted Sunday.
Forecaster Stephen Konarik said Tropical Storm Fay and its remnants are
to thank for this week’s forecast. Experts say up to 10 inches of rain
total could fall this week in north Georgia, the source of drinking
water for metro Atlanta.
“That would put a pretty significant dent in the drought,” Konarik said.
“It’s looking the best that it has in quite in while.”
Meteorologists predict a 70 percent chance of rain Monday, 80 percent
Tuesday and 70 percent Wednesday. Thursday brings a 50 percent chance of
rain.
