Heavy rains today combined with rain over past two weeks has for all intents and purposes ended our drought. Water table recovery is on track and reservoirs are filling nicely.

Minor to moderate flooding of creek and streams and in areas with poor drainage appears to be the main threat with our weather system today. There is still a slight chance for an isolated severe thunderstorm through 4am mainly well south and east of Augusta closer to the coast.

The primary flooding threat is south of Augusta where rainfall has exceeded 6 inches in some spots since last Friday. Metro area rain amount range from about 1 1/2 inches well north of Augusta to nearly 3 inches over south Augusta.

Flood Warnings continue until further notice for Brushy Creek near Wrens and for the Ogeechee River near Midville.

Although energy aloft is significant, there is very little instability in our atmosphere.

Rain should end by 7am Friday.
