The work week begins with — you guessed it — a chance for more rain. A drenching like the one area residents got over the weekend may not be in the works, however, as the likelihood is in the 20 to 30 percent range through Wednesday. A weather system that stalled for several days over Georgia dropped 3.52 inches of rain at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville between Thursday night and Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Most of that, or 3.27 inches, occurred between Saturday and Sunday, and with more rain possible today, the area was placed Sunday under a flood watch through this morning.
