Flood Watch issued January 9 at 6:53PM EST until January 10 at 7:00PM EST by NWS Peachtree City GA
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of north central and northwest Georgia, including
the following counties, in north central Georgia, Cobb. In
northwest Georgia, Haralson and Paulding.
* WHEN...Through Saturday evening.
* IMPACTS...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.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to impact portions of
north Georgia through the afternoon on Saturday, when a front
will move through and end the threat. Widespread 2-4" of rain
with locally higher amounts up to 6" possible. Convective
rainfall (thunderstorms) will be possible overnight into the
early morning ahead of the front, which may have locally high
enough rainfall rates to induce flash flooding in poor drainage
areas, as well as creeks and streams prone to flash flooding
given the antecedent rainfall. Larger stem riverine flooding is
not anticipated given the ongoing drought and low base state that
these rivers are starting from.
