A Flood Watch has been issued for Hall County and other parts of north and north central Georgia from Sunday afternoon through late Monday night.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ADVISORY:
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across portions
of north Georgia this afternoon through Monday evening. An
anomalously elevated moisture environment exists over north
Georgia which has resulted in high rain rates (2"+/hour) that are
expected to continue through Monday night which will lead to an
increased chance for flash flooding. Convective rainfall (showers
and thunderstorms) may repeatedly train over areas, and have
locally high enough rainfall rates to induce flash flooding in
poor drainage and urban areas, as well as creeks and streams
prone to flash flooding.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop. Please take extra caution if
participating in outdoor activities near bodies of water.
