The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of central Georgia, north central
Georgia, northwest Georgia and west central Georgia, including the
following areas, in central Georgia, Bibb, Butts, Crawford,
Jasper, Jones, Monroe and Peach. In north central Georgia,
Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton,
North Fulton, Rockdale, South Fulton and Walton. In northwest
Georgia, Carroll, Haralson, Paulding and Polk. In west central
Georgia, Chattahoochee, Coweta, Harris, Heard, Lamar, Macon,
Marion, Meriwether, Muscogee, Pike, Schley, Spalding, Stewart,
Talbot, Taylor, Troup, Upson and Webster.

* A tropical low pressure system will bring heavy rainfall to
portions of Georgia Saturday and Sunday. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5
inches are expected over the watch area, with higher amounts to 6
inches possible over portions of western Georgia. Quickly
accumulating rainfall will easily allow for efficient runoff and
increase flash flooding potential.

* Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks and inundate
fields, roads, businesses and other property. Street flooding
could also lead to road closures.
