An area of vast tropical moisture in the south-central Gulf of Mexico has been moving north during the afternoon. An area of low pressure associated with the moisture has been organizing, maintaining some concern for further development, possibly into a tropical depression.
The main hazard from this system will be heavy rain and accumulating rainfall that may trigger local flooding. A flash flood watch is in effect for most Big Bend and south Georgia counties in anticipation of periodic heavy rain Thursday morning through early Friday. Rainfall totals will range from one to six inches, heaviest amounts near the coast and perhaps in locally higher amounts.
