ATLANTA, GEORGIA — A Flood Watch for the Atlanta area has been cancelled, according to the National Weather Service.
Watch No Longer in Effect
The National Weather Service confirmed the Flood Watch is no longer active. Residents are no longer under the elevated flooding risk that prompted the alert.
What a Flood Watch Means
A Flood Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding, but flooding is not imminent or occurring. When a watch is cancelled, it indicates that the threat conditions have diminished enough to end the advisory.
Staying Prepared
