* Subtropical depression Alberto will continue north over Alabama
and continue abundant moisture and rainfall over the watch
area. Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches can be expected with
locally higher amounts. The greatest amounts will favor north
and west Georgia. Some of these amounts could fall in a short
period of time. Creek and river levels are already above average
and will not take much additional rainfall to cause levels to
rise above bankfull.

* Several creeks and rivers could rise out of their banks
closing roads and impacting homes, businesses and farms. High
water may not recede until well after the rain has ended.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
