Flash flooding can happen fast. Yesterday’s storm dropped more than 3 inches of rain across parts of Atlanta in just 2 hours, leading to dangerous roadway conditions. The rain isn’t over yet, so slow down, stay informed, and avoid flooded streets.

Widespread thunderstorms will affect the area beginning Wednesday afternoon and spread southward Wednesday night into Thursday.
🍃Damaging winds and a few tornadoes could down trees & powerlines leading to some power outages or cause damage to structures.🌪️

[NWS Atlanta @NWSAtlanta]

The slow-moving nature of this system + the quick movement of storms over the same areas will likely lead to flooding concerns.
Despite ongoing drought, heavy rainfall amounts will lead to rapid runoff & increase the flash flooding risk. Travel may become hazardous! #gawx

The best time to prepare for hurricanes is BEFORE hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
