...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

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

* WHERE...A portion of west central Georgia, including the following
  counties, Chattahoochee, Marion, Muscogee, Stewart and Webster.

* WHEN...Through Thursday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
  in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be
  flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across portions
    of north and central Georgia from Wednesday afternoon through
    Thursday morning as a slow moving frontal boundary pushes across
    the area. Widespread rainfall amounts of 1.5-2.5" are likely,
    with locally higher amounts of 4" or more possible. Convective
    rainfall (showers and thunderstorms) may repeatedly train over
    areas, and have locally high enough rainfall rates to induce
    flash flooding in poor drainage and urban areas, as well as
    creeks and streams prone to flash flooding. Main-stem river
    flooding is not anticipated given the ongoing drought and low
    base state that these rivers are starting from.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
