ATTENTION/ AREA AFFECTED WFO: ALR FFC JAX 

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE 
                ALTAMAHA AND SATILLA BASINS: 

... MINOR FLOODING FCST FOR GEORGIA RIVERS ...

IN CENTRAL GEORGIA, ALONG THE LOWER REACHES
OF THE OCONEE AND OCMULGEE RIVERS, MINOR FLOODING
IS FORECAST.

MODERATE FLOODING OCCURRING NOW
ON THE MAIN STEM OF THE ALTAMAHA
RIVER IS DUE TO PREVIOUS, HIGHER FLOOD CRESTS ON THE
ALTAMHA'S TRIBUTARIES,
SUCH THAT THE FORECAST TRIBUATARY CRESTS ARE 
TOO MILD TO WORSEN ALTAMAHA FLOODING.

THE SATILLA RIVER, HAVING CRESTED AT WAYCROSS
LAST SATURDAY, IS FORECAST TO RISE
INTO MINOR FLOOD AT ATKINSON ON
NEW YEAR'S DAY.
