... Flood Watch now in effect from Tuesday morning through
Wednesday afternoon...

The Flood Watch is now in effect for

* portions of north central Georgia... northeast Georgia and
northwest Georgia.

* From Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon

* the next round of rainfall over north Georgia will begin
tonight... before a strong cold front moves through north and
central Georgia Tuesday night and Wednesday. Showers and
isolated thunderstorms are expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of
rain over a large area of north Georgia from tonight into
Wednesday morning.

* This heavy rainfall will likely cause some rivers... streams and
creeks to rise to levels that result in minor flooding. Flash
flooding is also possible in urban areas and mountainous terrain
due to rapid runoff.


A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flooding
especially along larger streams and rivers. If you are in the
watch area... check your preparedness requirements... especially if
you have interests along area rivers. Keep informed... and be
ready for action if flooding is observed or if a Flood Warning is
issued.
