...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of north central, northwest, and west central
  Georgia, including the following areas, in north central Georgia,
  Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fannin, Fayette,
  Forsyth, Gilmer, Gwinnett, Henry, North Fulton, Pickens, Rockdale
  and South Fulton. In northwest Georgia, Bartow, Carroll, Catoosa,
  Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Paulding, Polk,
  Walker and Whitfield. In west central Georgia, Coweta.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT this morning 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...
  - Additional rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the
    area through the day today. An anomalously moist environment over
    Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for
    flash flooding. Convective rainfall (showers and thunderstorms)
    may repeatedly move over the same areas and have locally high
    enough rainfall rates to result in flash flooding particularly in
    urban areas and areas with poor drainage. Creeks and streams will
    also be susceptible to flash flooding.

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.
