Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Additional rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area through the day today. An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding. Convective rainfall (showers and thunderstorms) may repeatedly move over the same areas and have locally high enough rainfall rates to result in flash flooding particularly in urban areas and areas with poor drainage. Creeks and streams will also be susceptible to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
