Flooding bullet dodged; rain to ramp back up this afternoon
We got a reprieve this morning from what could have been quite a nasty rain event — the heaviest rain pushed offshore well before 3am and has broken a bit, allowing NWS to lift the Flash Flood Watch. The rain respite is welcomed this morning, with even some sun breaking through the clouds, but the next wave of energy will move in from the southwest this afternoon, bringing back more showers and some isolated thunderstorms. The heaviest rainfall is expected to remain in southern Georgia, so no widespread flood event is expected. Temperatures will reach the low 70s before the front pushes through — but don’t let the jackets stray too far. We’re back into the mid 50s for highs tomorrow, with abundant sunshine.
