The thunderstorm that dumped .64 inch of rain into Atlanta’s
official rain gauge at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Monday
afternoon pushed the city’s rainfall total for the year to 37.18 inches,
surpassing the 37.03 inches of rain that fell in all of 2012. And the year’s
not quite half over.
Atlanta’s average rainfall for the year
through July 24 is 23.71 inches.
Lake
Lanier’s level is about a foot above full pool, or 8 feet above the same time
last year. Lake Allatoona, the metro area’s other large reservoir, is right at
full pool.
And more rain is on the way.
There’s a 50/50 chance of more rain on Tuesday, and a 30 percent
chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through Friday, Channel 2 Action
News meteorologist Karen Minton said. The risk of rain then climbs to 40
percent Saturday, she said.
Highs this week will be mostly in the upper 80s, with lows in
the low 70s, Minton said.
