Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are likely through at least Friday Night. An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding.

Urban areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood |
