* WHEN...Through Tuesday evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area
through late Tuesday. An anomalously moist environment will
persist over north Georgia, resulting in high rain rates
(2"+/hour) 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.

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.
