... 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.
