...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

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

* WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast, and northwest
  Georgia, including the following counties, in north central
  Georgia, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Hall, Lumpkin,
  Pickens and Union. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Towns and White. In
  northwest Georgia, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon,
  Murray, Polk, Walker and Whitfield.

* WHEN...Through Friday 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
    environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and
    increased chances for flash flooding. Widespread rainfall of 2 to
    4 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
