But now it’s August and as mention the models are seemingly ganging up on our area of Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida.
How to deal with it:
Might want to double check drainage area for possible debris clogging up storm drains, run-off areas.
Be alert to where deep water may exist, especially if it is moving water (turn around).
Due to our saturated conditions flooding may be rapid in torrential downpours, always seek a safer route.
Basically 2-4" through Friday evening.Still forecasting 1-2" across much of the area.Near constant threat of rains at first and then the classic afternoon and evening storms by next week.
