...A FLOOD WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE
FRIDAY FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL
GEORGIA...AS WELL AS THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE...

.A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES IN THE ACTIVE SUB TROPICAL JET STREAM WILL
SLIDE EASTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS...AS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY ORGANIZES OVER THE MID
TO LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE FIRST SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
A SURFACE LOW AND IMPACT THE REGION TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY WHILE A
SECOND LOW MAY PRODUCE A SIMILAR IMPACT TO THE REGION ON THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY
HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS... WITH WIDESPREAD 3 TO 4 INCH AMOUNTS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
UNCOMMON BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE. IN FACT...LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS OF UP TO 5 OR EVEN 6 INCHES INCHES CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT
THIS TIME...SO ALL INTERESTS ARE URGED TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE
LATEST SITUATION AND FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
AT THE VERY LEAST...THESE HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL CAUSE FLOODING
OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND THE RAINFALL THAT HAS
ALREADY FALLEN UPSTREAM TODAY WILL LIKELY IMPACT OUR AREA RIVERS
DOWN THE LINE OVER THE WEEKEND.
