Flooding to be a big concern throughout Thursday morning

ATLANTA — As we move through Thursday morning, the threat of flooding is going to increase as storms continue to move through the region.

Most of North Georgia remains under a flood watch until 7 a.m. Thursday.

A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for parts of Bartow, Haralson, Paulding, and Polk counties until 5 a.m.

“Watch for a rise in rivers, creeks and streams, but also water on the roads,” Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz said.
