* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches are forecast for most
of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 10 inches
possible, especially along the Emerald Coast. Another area of
concern is across south-central Georgia where locally heavy rain
the past two afternoons has primed the region more so than the
rest of our area, so it wont take as much rain to cause flash
flooding. Additionally, very high rain rates due to the tropical
air mass in place may lead to flash flooding, especially in urban
and poor drainage areas.
