The National Environmental Agency forecasts that most regions of Eastern Georgia will experience rainfall beginning late on the evening of July 2 and continuing through the second half of July 4. The weather is expected to include heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds in some areas.

“The anticipated precipitation may lead to flash floods in small rivers across Eastern Georgia. Additionally, in hilly and mountainous regions, there is a medium-level risk of landslides and sandstorm activity,” the agency cautioned.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions.
