...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* Much of north and west central Georgia.
* Until 10 PM EDT this evening.
* A stationary front draped across the area will brings periods of
moderate to locally heavy rainfall through this evening. New
rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 are possible, with locally higher
amounts. This area has recently received between 1.5 to 4 inches
of rain, with locally higher amounts of up to 5 inches, since
Monday morning. With already saturated soils, quickly accumulating
rainfall could easily allow for efficient runoff and an increase
in flash flood potential, especially along creeks, streams,
low-lying and poor drainage areas.
* Fast-responding creeks and streams may rise out of their banks and
inundate fields, roads, businesses and other property. Street
flooding from persistent heavy rain could quickly lead to
problems, especially in urban areas.
