...RIVER FLOOD OUTLOOK FOR THE FLINT RIVER BASIN IN SOUTHWEST 
GEORGIA...

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS FORECAST OVER THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OF 6 TO 8 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL 
RESULT IN RIVERS ACROSS SOUTHWEST GEORGIA...INCLUDING THE 
FLINT...RISING TO AT LEAST MODERATE FLOOD STAGE.

A RIVER FLOOD OUTLOOK MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR RIVER 
FLOODING...BUT IN THIS CASE...MORE SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOODING THAN

CREEKS...STREAMS AND RIVERS WILL RISE TO CRITICAL STAGES.  PERSONS
