possible.

Georgia, including the following areas, in north central Georgia,
Barrow, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Gwinnett, North Fulton, Rockdale,

* WHEN...Through this 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...
- 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 1 to
3 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.
