ATLANTA — Heavy rain and storms have moved out of north Georgia and colder air is moving in.
The storms left at least one person dead in Georgia, trees and power lines down and roads flooded.
Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz says most all of metro Atlanta and north Georgia saw several inches of rain.
A flood watch has been extended throughout most of north Georgia. These strong winds could bring down some trees.
