Full Notification

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

* WHERE...Portions of north central Georgia and northeast Georgia, including the following counties, in north central Georgia, Barrow, Dawson, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Hall, Lumpkin, Morgan and Walton. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Clarke, Jackson, Madison, Oconee and White.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT this morning through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Recent heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 plus inches over the last 48 hours has saturated top-soils and elevated streamflows, with some river flooding already observed. Steady moisture flow and consistent showers and storms over the next few days will continue to precipitate 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain on average over these areas, however, the bigger concern is localized rainfall values of 5 to 7 inches that several models have indicated could fall over isolated pre-saturated locations leading to flash, river, and urban flooding issues. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
