Flood Advisory Issued for South Carolina Area

Savannah and surrounding areas are currently under a flood advisory due to heavy rainfall expected from tropical storms, with 3-5 inches of rain already reported and an additional 2-3 inches forecasted. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued warnings for several counties, predicting minor flooding in low-lying areas. A Flood Watch is also in effect for Southeast Georgia, with rain anticipated to continue through Thursday, particularly impacting regions west of I-95. This weather pattern is influenced by Tropical Storm Rafael, which recently made landfall in Cuba and is expected to bring moisture across the Southeast. Although there is a risk of flash flooding, the overall rainfall is deemed beneficial after a dry spell since Hurricane Helene. Residents are advised to heed safety guidelines and prepare for potential flooding conditions.
