SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WIDESPREAD FOG CONTINUING TO IMPACT THE COASTAL AREA THIS

WATERS. SHOWERS AND STORMS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL
ALSO CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. RAIN
SHOULD BE LIGHT IN NATURE...BUT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN COMBINATION WITH THE ALREADY SATURATED
GROUNDS WILL CAUSE FLOODING CONCERNS. SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOODING
IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE WHERE RAINS WERE EXCESSIVE ON MONDAY

OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF
RAINFALL TO ACCOMPANY THIS LOW ON FRIDAY. THIS RAINFALL POTENTIAL
