(Cleveland)- The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a Flash Flood Watch for North and Central Georgia through Saturday morning. Forecasters say additional rounds of very heavy rainfall are likely, as a trough of low pressure to the west feeds very high amounts of moisture into the area.
Total rainfall amounts through Friday night could range from 2 to 4 inches with isolated amounts up to 8 inches.
The weather service says much of this heavy rain could fall in a short amount of time, with the heavy rain that has already fallen in the last 2 days it will only take a relatively small amount of heavy rain to cause significant flash flooding. Forecasters warn that creeks and rivers will rise out of their banks closing roads or impacting homes, businesses and farms. Roads may become closed for extended periods of time. High water will not recede until well after the rain has ended.
