Slow-Moving Storms To Soak GA, Produce Flood Risks

Georgia will continue to be drenched with excessive rainfall that is set to sweep every portion of the state Thursday, according to the forecast.

There is a 5 percent chance of excessive rainfall from the north to south through Thursday evening in Georgia, according to the National Weather Service's forecast.

The NWS stated it is highly confident that localized flash flooding could inundate some areas due to several snail-paced storms. Lightning and gusty winds are also possible.

This includes the counties of Fulton, Gwinnett, Bartow, Cherokee, Clarke, Oconee, DeKalb, Cobb, Douglas, Fayette, Paulding, Forsyth, Clayton, Henry and Barrow.

The likelihood of daily afternoon rain will be backed by humidity and seasonal temperatures.
