The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for a portion of southeast Georgia, 
  including the following areas, Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, 
  Coffee, and Jeff Davis. 

* From 2 PM EDT this afternoon through late tonight

* Major Hurricane Michael will make landfall along the Florida  
  panhandle coast early this afternoon and will gradually turn 
  north-northeastward as it accelerates across southwest and south
  central Georgia tonight. Outer rain bands and embedded 
  thunderstorms will increase across inland southeast Georgia this

  this evening as Hurricane Michael makes it closest approach. 
  Widespread 3 to 5 inch rainfall totals are possible across 
  portions of inland southeast Georgia, with locally higher

  during the predawn and early morning hours on Thursday as 
  Michael accelerates northeastward towards the Savannah River 
  Valley.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
