FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT... * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of east central Georgia and central South Carolina, including the following areas, in east central Georgia, Burke, Columbia, Lincoln, McDuffie and Richmond. In central South Carolina, Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Central Orangeburg, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Edgefield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Northern Lancaster, Northwestern Orangeburg, Richland, Saluda, Southeastern Orangeburg, Southern Lancaster and Sumter. * WHEN...Until Midnight EDT tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The upper low currently centered over Tennessee will drift northeast into Ohio by daybreak Friday. This feature has helped to maintain a moist environment across the forecast area. Additionally the soils across the area are very saturated from the recent widespread heavy rainfall and much of the rainfall will runoff. The region has received rainfall amounts from 2 to 4 inches with some higher amounts between 5 and 7 inches. Any showers or thunderstorms that develop during the afternoon and evening hours will have the potential to produce locally heavy rainfall and produce localized flooding. Overall, rainfall amounts could range from one half inch up to one inch, but locally heavier rainfall amounts could range from 1 to 3 inches. The system that has produced the prolonged wet weather will begin to move off to the north-northeast Friday and into the weekend and allow somewhat drier conditions across the region. - http://www.floodsafety.noaa.gov
