Georgia
Widespread rain arrives in North Georgia late Monday into Tuesday
ATLANTA – A widespread, soaking rain is heading for North Georgia, with the wettest period expected late Monday night through early Tuesday morning.
What they’re saying:
“This is just some rain,” said FOX 5 Storm Team Chief Meteorologist David Chandley. “We’re not going to see any thunderstorms, not going to see any of that pink and blue on the map that they’re having out there in Arkansas and Missouri. That’s some wintry weather. We’re just gonna get some plain old rain rolling our way.”
The first round of showers will move in overnight, with rain becoming more consistent before sunrise Tuesday.
“Once it rolls in, it’s gonna stick around for a little bit,” Chandley said. “We’re talking about overnight tonight into the early morning hours — that paints a pretty green picture across North Georgia.”
Rain is expected to begin between 9–10 p.m. Monday and mostly move out by 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Heaviest rain south of Atlanta
Local perspective:
While all of north Georgia will see measurable rain, the heaviest totals are expected south of I-20, where some locations could pick up well over an inch.
“The heaviest rain, I think, is going to be down here south of the city,” Chandley said. “That’s where we could pick up well over an inch of rain during the duration of this into early tomorrow morning.”
Even after the steady rain tapers off, the Tuesday morning commute may still be damp. Chandley said clouds will linger and “it’ll take all day for the clouds to begin to break.”
Beneficial rainfall for a dry year
By the numbers:
Most of metro Atlanta is expected to see ½ inch to 1 inch of rain, with higher amounts south of the city.
“This would be beneficial… anywhere from a half, three-quarters of an inch, up to an inch, with an inch plus down on the south side,” Chandley said. “We will take that, thank you very much. We’ve got a six-inch rainfall deficit for the year.”

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
