Peachtree City, Georgia – Heavy downpours soaked Peachtree City and much of central Georgia Monday, leading to a Flood Watch that will remain in effect through Tuesday evening as more rounds of thunderstorms and soaking rain threaten flash flooding on roads, creeks, and low-lying neighborhoods. Flooded streets and hazardous driving conditions are possible, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, additional showers and thunderstorms are likely through Tuesday night, with new rainfall totals between 1 to 3 inches possible in spots—especially in areas already saturated since the weekend. Isolated pockets could see even higher amounts, raising the risk for flash flooding along highways, urban roads, and flood-prone creeks.
Multiple schools and commuters from Coweta, Fayette, Henry, Spalding, Pike, and Meriwether counties should expect slowdowns and delays if roadways flood, and drivers are urged to turn around if encountering water over pavement. Atlanta’s south and west suburbs, including Newnan, Stockbridge, and Griffin, are at heightened risk, with flood advisories likely to expand if the heaviest storms line up.
Residents should charge mobile devices, keep flashlights handy, and avoid unnecessary travel until the storms taper off by late Tuesday night. Expect additional alerts or advisories as forecasters monitor the storm’s progress.
Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday, and further updates are expected if new storms develop.
