Why this matters in The Atlanta

The prospect of scattered showers and storms throughout the weekend will likely have Atlanta residents on edge, particularly in areas that were hardest hit by Friday's rain.

As the weather continues to shift, Atlantans would do well to stay informed and up-to-date on the latest forecast, taking advantage of resources like First Alert Weather to plan and prepare for the week ahead.
