* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are forecast for most
of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 6 inches
possible through Monday, especially along the Emerald and
Forgotten Coasts. Another area of concern is across south-central
Georgia where locally heavy rainfall since Friday afternoon has
primed the region more so than the rest of our area, so it wont
take as much rain to cause flash flooding. Across the flood watch
area, very high rain rates due to the tropical air mass may lead
to flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas.
