  Georgia, including the following counties, in north central
  Georgia, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Hall, Lumpkin,

  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

    Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for
    flash flooding. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will be
    possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches or more. Urban
    areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible
    to flash flooding.
