* A tropical low pressure system will bring heavy rainfall to
portions of Georgia Saturday and Sunday. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5
inches are expected over the watch area, with higher amounts to 6
inches possible over portions of western and north Georgia.
Quickly accumulating rainfall will easily allow for efficient
runoff and increase flash flooding potential.
* Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks and inundate
fields, roads, businesses and other property. Street flooding
could also lead to road closures.
