ATLANTA - A National Weather Service official says north and central Georgia will be dealing with flooding throughout the weekend and the beginning of next week.
Hydrologist Kent Frantz said Saturday that counties in those regions could have an extra two to four inches of rain next week. Frantz says there was an isolated 8 to 12 inches of rain from Fort Benning to LaGrange.
Gov. Nathan Deal Thursday declared a state of emergency through Jan. 10 in Fannin, Gilmer and Pickens counties.
Frantz says metro Atlanta hasn't experienced much flood problems, but soils are still very wet from the constant rain the past few days. He added a flood watch might be issued because of the expected additional rain.
