From the Peachtree City NWS Office: Chances for statewide tropical storm force winds will increase rapidly beginning this evening… The strongest winds and wind gusts will continue to be found on the eastern side of the storm (the Gainesville side) and may change with small wobbles in the forecast track. Stay tuned for updates.
A rare High Risk (level 4/4) for Excessive Rainfall is in effect for much of the area through 8AM Friday. These days account for 1/3 of flood-related deaths and 80% of flood-related damages. Exercise extreme caution if commuting after dark. #gawx
