Alabama, Geneva

Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 3:22 AM CST on March 11, 2010

Expires 7:00 PM EST on March 12, 2010


... Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday evening...

The Flood Watch continues for

* portions of southeast Alabama... Florida and Georgia...
including the following areas... in southeast Alabama...
Coffee... Dale... Geneva... Henry and Houston. In Florida... Bay...
Calhoun... coastal Walton... Dixie... Franklin... Gadsden... Gulf...
Holmes... inland Walton... Jackson... Jefferson... Lafayette...
Leon... Liberty... Madison... Taylor... Wakulla and Washington. In
Georgia... Baker... Ben Hill... Berrien... Brooks... Calhoun...
Clay... Colquitt... Cook... Decatur... Dougherty... early... Grady...
Irwin... Lanier... Lee... Lowndes... Miller... Mitchell... Quitman...
Randolph... Seminole... Terrell... Thomas... Tift... Turner and
Worth.

* Through Friday evening

* although rain accumulations have been meager so far... early
morning radar indicates that moderate rain with embedded heavy
showers and thunderstorms was beginning to lift north over the
Florida Panhandle. During the rest of the predawn hours and into
this afternoon... locally heavy rainfall will continue to lift
northeast and spread across much of the rest of our tri-state
area.

This rain will persist as a series of disturbances in the active
sub tropical jet stream slides 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 towards the morning hours and continuing today while a
second low may produce a similar impact to the region on tonight
into Friday.

The bottom line is the potential continues for some very heavy
rainfall totals across the region during the next couple of
days... with widespread 3 to 4 inch amounts possible before all is
said and done. In fact... locally higher amounts of up to 5 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.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
