We will be providing weather updates on Tropical Storm Debby and the impact we may see in our area. The Augusta area is still under alert with more rain predicted, especially in the southeastern counties in our region.
Thursday, August 8:
On Thursday, the CSRA could see more rain as TS Debby pushes back toward land. This means the flood threat remains, with a flood watch continuing for areas along and south of I-20 into Friday morning. An additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible, though the heaviest rainfall is expected across the southeastern counties in the CSRA. According to WJBF, a cold front will push Debby out of the way, bringing fewer showers and storms on Friday. The weekend should be drier with temperatures warming back up to the lower 90s for the highs.
In Screven County, the Emergency Management Agency has issued an alert to residents in the Lake Eureka area. The dam is in danger of failing, which could lead to more flooding. Residents are being asked to evacuate. If you need a place to evacuate, the shelter location is the Screven County Recreation Department at 1605 Millen Highway in Sylvania.
Burke County Public Schools and departments will resume normal operations today, but due to heavy rainfall, some roads are immpassable for school buses. If your road is closed or impassable, don’t risk your safety. Your child will be excused. You can also contact the Transportation Department at 706-554-2859, with dispatchers available starting at 5:30 a.m.
