Omaha, Georgia

... Flood Watch remains in effect from 1 am EST Friday through
Friday evening...

The Flood Watch continues for

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

* From 1 am EST Friday through Friday evening

* surface low pressure will develop over the Gulf of Mexico and
move across south Georgia or North Florida on Friday and into
the Atlantic Friday night. Moderate to locally heavy rain will
develop between midnight and sunrise on Friday... continuing
through much of the day. The rain will diminish Friday evening.

* Rainfall amounts around 2 inches can be expected across the
watch area with locally higher amounts.

Recent heavy rain events have caused the soils to become wet or
saturated with well above average stream flow levels in this
area. Several large creeks and rivers are still in minor flood.
The additional rainfall will quickly turn into runoff and cause
rises on streams... creeks and rivers. Therefore... the expected
rainfall could result in additional widespread minor to isolated
moderate flooding across the area of concern. Also..ponding of
water on roads will be possible in low lying or slow draining
areas due to debris in ditches and drains.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
