THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A QUICK 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN AN HOURS TIME. WITH THE GROUND STILL EXTREMELY WET AFTER WEEKS OF HEAVY RAIN...ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY PRODUCE AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING. * FLOODING COULD OCCUR QUICKLY...ESPECIALLY IN LOW-LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. DRIVING COULD BECOME HAZARDOUS AS SOME AREA ROADWAYS COULD BECOME IMPASSABLE DUE TO HIGH WATER... ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS LIKE SAVANNAH AROUND HIGH TIDE. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... BE PREPARED TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING. IF FLOODING DEVELOPS...MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. IF DRIVING...BE PREPARED FOR FLOODED ROADWAYS AND POSSIBLE ROAD CLOSURES. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS SINCE IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW DEEP THE WATER IS AND IF THE ROAD IS WASHED OUT. && MC
