The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for North and Central Georgia

(AP) -- Wet weather moving through Georgia in advance of Tropical Storm Ida could mean more flooding for the rain-soaked state. 

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for North and Central Georgia.

Forecaster Kent McMullen said Tuesday that residents should expect from three to five inches of rain on Tuesday. He said some spots could be doused with up to eight inches. 

The downpour is expected to cause some creeks and streams to overflow. But McMullen said the rain is expected to exit the state on Wednesday. 

Georgia and Alabama were plagued with deadly floods in September that killed at least 10 people. Weather experts say the flooding was near the top of the worst floods in the United States during the past century.
