HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
Warning Issue Date: 424 PM EST MON NOV 30 2009
HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE WEST GULF
OF MEXICO TUESDAY AND DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST INTO ALABAMA
ON WEDNESDAY. THE STORM WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON THURSDAY. THIS SCENARIO WILL ALLOW
ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE TO INCREASE OVER GEORGIA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
WITH A WARM FRONT PUSHING NORTH THROUGH THE STATE ON WEDNESDAY.
AT THIS TIME...PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN ARE LIKELY ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE WARM FRONT. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 2.5 INCHES
WILL BE POSSIBLE BEGINNING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT IN WEST CENTRAL
GEORGIA...THEN SPREAD NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL AND PORTIONS OF NORTH
GEORGIA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ISOLATED AMOUNTS UP TO 4
INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. THE AREA
OF GREATEST RAINFALL POTENTIAL WILL BE FROM CARROLLTON TO
CLEVELAND AND GIBSON TO CORDELE. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES CAN
BE ANTICIPATED.
WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY SIGNIFICANT RAIN OVER NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA FOR OVER A WEEK...SOIL MOISTURE AND AVERAGE
STREAM FLOWS REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. THE PROJECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS
MAY RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING OF CREEKS AND RIVERS. HOWEVER...THIS
WEATHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN. CONSEQUENTLY...SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. A FLOOD WATCH WILL LIKELY
BE ISSUED TUESDAY UNLESS CONDITIONS CHANGE.
RESIDENTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA CAN KEEP UP TO DATE ON THE
LATEST FLOOD THREAT INFORMATION BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT
