The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for minor flooding of poor drainage areas in southern and eastern chatham county in southeast Georgia until 1215 pm edt this afternoon.
At 11:23 am edt...National Weather Service doppler radar continues to indicate rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches per hour over portions of southern and eastern Chatham county. The heaviest rain over the next hour is expected to occur from While Bluff to Skidaway Island.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
This heavy rainfall will result in significant ponding of water on area roads and in low spots. Slow down to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. If water covers the entire roadway or is flowing...find another route. the water is probably much deeper than it appears and only one foot of water can stall a vehicle. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice...turn around...dont drown.
