... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 7 am EST Wednesday...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* north Georgia and portions of central Georgia... along and north
of a line from Columbus to Macon to Warrenton.

* Through Wednesday morning

* widespread heavy rainfall has produced rainfall totals of 2 to 4
inches across portions of West Georgia... with widespread 1 to 2
inches across north and East Georgia. Additional rainfall is
expected overnight... with highest amounts expected across north
Georgia where an additional 2 to 3 inches is possible. By
Wednesday morning... widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches
are expected across the watch area.

* Creeks and streams are responding to the rain with fairly rapid
rises occurring... especially in the mountains and across the
Atlanta Metro area. Minor to moderate flooding is likely on some
small to medium sized creeks and rivers... and may eventually
spread to the larger river systems. With autumn in full
swing... the trees across north and central Georgia have been
dropping their leaves. This could lead to storm drains becoming
clogged... resulting in street flooding.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
Now is the time to take any necessary precautions to protect life
and property... before any flooding begins.

You should monitor NOAA Weather Radio or commercial radio and
television for later statements... along with any warnings that may
be issued.

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST Wednesday
   for much of north and central Georgia...


A strong pressure gradient will continue over the area due to the
remnants of Ida and strong high pressure over the Great Lakes
area. Winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 can be
expected to continue through Wednesday evening. Additionally...
with wet ground conditions across the area... it will not take very
strong winds for trees to begin to fall.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 20 to 35 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for
high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

... Record daily maximum rainfall set at Athens...

a record rainfall of 1.94 inches was set at Athens today. This
breaks the old record of 1.43 set in 1966.
