Today's Weather Summary
Today, expect cool temperatures around 17°C with high humidity, making it feel damp and chilly. Be prepared for heavy rainfall and potential flooding due to active flood watches, so avoid low-lying areas and have an umbrella or rain gear ready. Wind conditions are calm, so no significant wind-related impacts are expected.
Alert Summary
**Critical Safety Information:** Flash flooding is possible due to excessive rainfall in Lithonia and surrounding areas, including Cobb and Cherokee counties. This alert is in effect for the next few hours, so stay vigilant and be prepared to move to higher ground if necessary. Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters, as it only takes six inches of fast-moving water to knock you down and two feet to sweep your vehicle away.
