...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast, and northwest
Georgia, including the following areas, in north central Georgia,
Barrow, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Gwinnett, North Fulton, Rockdale,
South Fulton and Walton. In northeast Georgia, Clarke, Jackson,

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are
likely through at least Friday Night. An anomalously moist

3 inches will be possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches
or more. Urban areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the
most susceptible to flash flooding.
