The remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur are expected to move across east-central Georgia, bringing an increased potential for localized flooding, reduced visibility, and hazardous driving conditions.

If you must travel:
- Slow down and drive for conditions
- Turn on your headlights
- Increase following distance
- Never drive through standing or moving water

Remember: It only takes a small amount of water to impact a roadway, and conditions can change quickly during heavy rain.

Stay weather-aware, check road conditions before you travel, and remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown.
