Possible heavy rain and flooding threats coming to Georgia this weekend – CBS News

Possible heavy rain and flooding threats coming to Georgia this weekend  CBS News

A Next Weather Alert has been issued for the period spanning Saturday and Sunday, identifying north Georgia as the area where there is potential for heavy rain. The alert says isolated flooding is possible as the weekend rain threat unfolds. It covers both days of the weekend and focuses specifically on the potential for heavy rainfall and isolated flooding, rather than reporting that flooding has already occurred. The information describes a possible weather hazard for north Georgia during Saturday and Sunday. The notice is specifically designated as an issued Next Weather Alert.

Heavy rain is the condition cited in the alert, while flooding is characterized as isolated and possible. The notice places the concern across north Georgia and sets its timing for Saturday and Sunday. No further details about rainfall totals, specific communities, timing within either day, or the expected extent of any flooding are included in the verified information. The alert therefore signals the potential for localized flooding associated with heavy rain during the two-day weekend period.
