...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be

  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Alabama, including the following

  areas, Geneva and Houston, Florida, including the following areas,

  Calhoun, Coastal Franklin, Coastal Jefferson, Coastal Wakulla,

  Gadsden, Inland Franklin, Inland Jefferson, Inland Wakulla,

  Jackson, Leon, Madison, Northern Liberty and Southern Liberty, and

  Georgia, including the following areas, Baker, Ben Hill, Berrien,

  Brooks, Calhoun, Colquitt, Cook, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady,

  Irwin, Lanier, Lee, Lowndes, Miller, Mitchell, Randolph, Seminole,

  Terrell, Thomas, Tift, Turner and Worth.

* WHEN...Through Monday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 6 inches are forecast for most

    of the area with locally higher amounts of up to 10 inches

    possible, especially along the Emerald Coast. Another area of

    concern is across south-central Georgia where locally heavy rain

    the past two afternoons has primed the region more so than the

    rest of our area, so it won’t take as much rain to cause flash

    flooding. Additionally, very high rain rates due to the tropical

    air mass in place may lead to flash flooding, especially in urban

    and poor drainage areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action

should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
