The National Weather Service station at Peachtree City late yesterday afternoon forecast another round of possible flooding conditions for Douglas County.

In its zone forecasts for north and central Georgia issued just before 4 p.m., it said a flash flood watch and flood warning are in effect from late last night through today. The forecast was for Douglas County and the city of Douglasville as well as neighboring counties of Carroll and Paulding. The watch also included Haralson and Polk counties to the north and west of Douglas County.

The chance of rain for last night and today was listed at 100 percent by the weather service.

Wes Tallon, Douglas County community relations and communications director, said yesterday afternoon the county is watching the weather closely.

“We may have one to four inches of rain overnight and tomorrow, and that’s a tough one considering that Sweetwater Creek is still at flood level,” Tallon said. Sweetwater Creek is one of the county’s most flood-prone areas.

According to wsbtv.com:

A broad area of heavy rain was to move into the watch area after midnight last night and spread eastward through tonight. Rainfall amounts of two to four inches are likely generally north of a line from LaGrange, to Macon, to Louisville, according to the report.

Several rivers and creeks remain in or near flood after the widespread 2-3 inches of rain on Monday, and the soil is saturated. Additional heavy rainfall will quickly run off into creeks, rivers and streams, resulting in rapid rising water and potentially more significant flooding, the report showed.
