- Multiple rounds of rainfall have dropped 1 to 3 inches of
rainfall with further rainfall expected tonight into Friday
afternoon. A significantly moist tropical environment across
Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for
flash flooding. Further rainfall of 1 to 3 inches will be
possible with locally higher amounts also possible. Urban areas,
and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible to
flash flooding.
