Minor flooding watch for DeKalb County creeks

There is a flood watch in effect for DeKalb County through 7:00 PM EST, Thu., Jan 17, 2013:
SOILS ARE WET IN NORTH GEORGIA DUE TO RECENT RAINFALL. THIS WILL HELP IN PRODUCING RUNOFF AS THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. MOSTLY MINOR FLOODING OF SMALLER CREEKS... STREAMS... AND LOW LYING FLOOD PRONE AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME MODERATE FLOODING IN LOCALIZED AREAS. . . . A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON CURRENT FORECASTS.
Apologies for the all caps.... the National Weather Service always types like that.
