ATLANTA — Eyes are on Helene and its path, but **Severe Weather Team 2** is also tracking a separate system that will bring significant rain to the area starting Wednesday. There is also the risk for severe storms. **Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan** says a flood watch is in effect through Friday and the flash flooding threat will increase throughout the day. The highest risk for flash flooding is over the northeast Georgia mountains. In metro Atlanta, there is also a significant flooding risk.
By Friday, after Helene moves through north Georgia with additional heavy rain, Monahan says metro Atlanta and north Georgia could see 5-10 inches of rain with locally higher amounts.
