Braselton, Georgia

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Wednesday
morning...

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 totaling 3 to 5 inches is expected
with locally higher amounts up to 8 inches possible... over much
of north and central Georgia by tonight and early Wednesday.

* Creeks and streams will respond to the rain with fairly rapid
rises expected... 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 the latest information on this developing weather
situation... along with any possible warnings that may be issued.

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 am EST Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has continued the
Wind Advisory... which is in effect until 7 am EST Wednesday for
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 western
Atlantic. Winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 can be
expected through the day. 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.
