Issued By: NWS Peachtree City GA on 2026-05-26 @ 12:58 am
Headline: Flood Watch issued May 26 at 1:58AM EDT until May 26 at 11:00PM EDT by NWS Peachtree City GA
Description: * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central,
northeast, northwest, and west central Georgia, including the
following areas, in central Georgia, Butts, Jasper and Putnam. In
east central Georgia, Greene. In north central Georgia, Barrow,
Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fannin, Fayette,
Forsyth, Gilmer, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Lumpkin, Morgan, Newton,

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected to move across the area
through late today. An anomalously moist environment will persist
over Georgia, resulting in high rain rates and increased chances
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 urban
areas and areas with poor drainage, as well as creeks and streams
prone to flash flooding.
