Due to his medical condition, there is significant concern for his safety and well-being.

🌧️ Weather watch day, be aware that we are expected to see showers/storms push through today from remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur.

Continue to monitor the National Weather Service page below, local weather outlets, and we will update this page as well throughout the today/tomorrow.

Latest information from the NWS ⬇️⬇️

**OUTDATED - See latest post for updates**

The remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur will bring a risk for heavy rain to much of the area on Thursday. Several inches of rain are possible and could lead to flash flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage urban areas.

This watch includes WASHINGTON COUNTY.

A Flood Watch is now in effect for much of the area Thursday into Friday as the remnants of a tropical disturbance cross the region. 2 to 4 inches of rain are forecast within the watch area, with locally higher amounts possible.

We’re keeping an eye out on Thursday and Friday for potential flooding rain in our area.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue across much of Georgia today, tomorrow, and Thursday. Flooding and/or widespread severe weather is not anticipated through Wednesday. Heavy rainfall could produce isolated flash flooding where the axis of heaviest precipitation sets up, which currently looks to be over middle Georgia.

The Weather Prediction Center has much of Georgia in a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) for excessive rainfall on Thursday, with a small portion of West-Central Georgia in a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4). The Storm Prediction Center has much of Georgia in a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather on Thursday, which could also be upgraded if confidence increases for damaging winds and/or isolated tornadoes.

Most of Georgia should receive 2 to 4 inches of rainfall in total today through Friday. Please continue to monitor forecast updates from your local National Weather Service office and reliable media outlets throughout the week.

UPDATED: Scattered showers and storms are expected to continue across north and central Georgia this afternoon and evening. A few storms could become severe with damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph the primary threat. The main severe threat will be after 5pm.
