A Month’s Worth of Rain in 24 Hours?!
The average February monthly rainfall in Metro Atlanta is 4.55 inches, and many areas in the region received an average month’s amount of rain in the past 24 hours!

While this is a heavy amount of rain, it is not in the Top 10 Wettest Februarys on Record for Metro Atlanta.
The Wettest February on Record for Atlanta occurred in 1961, when over a foot of rain fell in the city. More recently, February 2020 was the second Wettest February on record with nearly 11 inches of rain.
Dry conditions will prevail for this evening and Friday, but the next round of heavy rain will return this weekend as a line of storms is forecast to bring an additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall to Metro Atlanta early Sunday morning.
