Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area
through late today. An anomalously moist environment will persist
over Georgia, resulting in high rain rates and increased chances
for flash flooding. Convective rainfall (showers and
thunderstorms) may repeatedly train over areas, and have locally
high enough rainfall rates to induce flash flooding in urban
areas and areas with poor drainage, as well as creeks and streams
prone to flash flooding.
