Flash Flood Watch until 01:00PM Thursday
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for North and Central Georgia
* From Wednesday morning through Thursday afternoon
* Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected to occur Wednesday through Thursday afternoon, with the highest amounts expected to begin late Wednesday and taper off late Thursday morning. The Watch area includes counties generally along and south of Interstate 20. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 3.5 inches are expected over the area, with the highest amounts focused over middle Georgia.
