-National Weather Service-
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch through Friday evening.
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible in portions of north central, northeast, and northwest Georgia, including Bartow, Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon, and Polk Counties.
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.
Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are likely through late week.
An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding.
Widespread rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches or more.
Urban areas and areas with poor drainage will be the most susceptible to flash flooding.
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.
