Heavy rain and storms slowly drifted through Metro Atlanta and North Georgia this morning, producing as much as 2 to 3 inches of rainfall throughout portions of north Fulton, Forsyth, eastern Cherokee, and Gwinnett counties.

Nearly 4 inches of rainfall was observed on radar in Forsyth County, north of Cumming.

Another round of heavy rain and storms is forecast to return to the Metro Atlanta area during the Tuesday evening commute. Some storms have the potential to produce locally heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding.

In addition, some of the stronger storms have the potential to produce microbursts that could create damaging wind gusts, similar to Monday afternoon. The video below illustrates a microburst in the Atlanta area that prompted Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in the area.

Rain chances remain in the forecast for Wednesday, but sunshine -- and Fall temperatures! -- return for the end of the week.
