Days of rain in the Southeast have left roads underwater and one person dead, while a major river in Georgia is observing dangerously-high bacteria levels.

"(On Tuesday), the heaviest rain band targets a swath from Delaware west across the D.C. area into eastern West Virginia with 1 to 2 inches of rain," said weather.com meteorologist Nick Wiltgen. "Wednesday and Thursday will bring showers into the Northeast, but the nozzle-like focus of heavy rain will weaken into scattered nuisance showers."
