Flash Flood Watch until 07:00PM
The Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for
* North and Central Georgia.
* Through this evening
* Moderate to heavy rainfall will continue through today. Additional rainfall totals between one and two inches are likely, with some locally higher amounts possible were storms repeatedly move.
