The National Weather Service (NWS) in Peachtree City has issued a Flood Watch for much of North and central Georgia, lasting until 8 PM Monday evening. Adding to the weather concerns, a Tornado Watch is in effect until 11 AM this morning. The NWS warns of widespread thunderstorms across the region today and tonight, with the potential for some storms to become strong to severe. Residents should be prepared for damaging winds, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning. While the possibility is considered low, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out. The Flood Watch is in place due to the expectation of heavy rainfall throughout the day. Areas under the watch could see between 2 to 4 inches of rain, with isolated locations potentially receiving up to 5 inches by Monday evening, raising concerns for flash flooding. The threat of severe weather continues into Monday and Monday evening with more potential for strong to severe storms. The Flood Watch will remain in effect through the evening due to the continued rainfall. Looking ahead, the NWS is also monitoring the potential for frost and freeze conditions across portions of north Georgia Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
