Hazardous Weather Outlook For CLAY County,GA
238 PM EST Sat Feb 16 2019 DAY ONE Tonight The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low. Low clouds, drizzle and areas of fog are expected to develop late tonight and persist into Sunday. Visibilities may be reduced to less than 1/2 mile at times. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN Sunday through Friday Confidence is increasing that multiple rounds of rain can be expected across much of the area through Friday, with 2 to as much as 8 inches possible by the end of the week. The highest rainfall amounts at this time are expected across northwest Georgia. An increased threat for river and stream flooding is likely through the week as rain falls over saturated grounds. Localized flash flooding will also be possible, especially over the complex terrain of north Georgia. Plenty of uncertainty exists with respect to where the axis of heaviest rain sets up, so stay tuned to the latest forecasts and updates each day. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT Spotter activation is not expected through tonight.
