areas, Geneva and Houston, Florida, including the following areas,
Calhoun, Central Walton, Coastal Bay, Coastal Franklin, Coastal
Gulf, Coastal Jefferson, Coastal Wakulla, Gadsden, Holmes, Inland

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are forecast for most
of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches
possible through this evening, especially along the Emerald and
Forgotten Coasts. Another area of concern is across south-central
Georgia where locally heavy rainfall since Friday afternoon has
primed the region more so than the rest of our area, so it won’t
take as much rain to cause flash flooding. Across the flood watch
area, very high rain rates due to the tropical air mass may lead
to flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas.
