* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are
likely through at least Friday Night. 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.
