-National Weather Service-
A Flood Watch is in effect for our area through Tuesday evening.
Flooding from excessive rainfall remains possible in portions of Northwest Georgia.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying, flood-prone areas.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area through late Tuesday.
An anomalously moist environment will persist over Georgia, resulting in high rain rates 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.
