Flood Watch until 11:00PM Tuesday
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central, northeast, and west central Georgia, including the following counties, in central Georgia, Butts, Jasper and Putnam. In east central Georgia, Greene. In north central Georgia, Barrow, Clayton, DeKalb, Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry, Morgan, Newton, Rockdale and Walton. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Clarke, Jackson, Madison, Oconee and Oglethorpe. In west central Georgia, Spalding.
* WHEN...Through this 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... - Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area through late today. An anomalously moist environment will persist over north Georgia, resulting in high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding. Convective rainfall (showers and thunderstorms) may repeatedly train over areas, and have locally high enough rainfall rates to induce flash flooding in urban areas and areas with poor drainage, as well as creeks and streams prone to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
