- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected beginning Thursday
morning through Friday evening. A significantly moist tropical
environment across GA 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.
