...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH 4 AM EDT SUNDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible
  across Southwest and South Central Georgia.

* WHERE...For the following counties in South Central Georgia, Ben
  Hill, Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Irwin, Lanier, Lowndes,
  Thomas, Tift, Turner and Worth. In southwest Georgia, Baker,
  Calhoun, Clay, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Lee, Miller,

* WHEN...Through 4 AM EDT Sunday Morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flash flooding of
  roadways as well as greater impacts in urban areas where
  flood-prone neighborhoods could be especially vulnerable to rising
  water. Small creeks may also rise rapidly, leading to flooding.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A very moist airmass is in place across the region and
    numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop
    later this afternoon and evening across South Georgia. Due to
    the slow motion of these storms, some areas could see
    rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches with isolated maximum
    amounts of 7 inches through tonight.
