Alabama, Choctaw

Flash Flood Watch

Statement as of 11:54 PM CST on January 05, 2009

Expires 7:00 AM EST on January 07, 2009


... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from Tuesday afternoon
through late Tuesday night...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Alabama... northwest Florida and southeast
Mississippi... including the following areas... in Alabama...
Butler... Choctaw... Clarke... Conecuh... Covington... Crenshaw...
Escambia... Monroe... upper Baldwin... upper Mobile... Washington
and Wilcox. In northwest Florida... inland Escambia... inland
Okaloosa and inland Santa Rosa. In southeast Mississippi...
George... Greene... Perry... stone and Wayne.

* From Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night

* a vigorous upper level disturbance combined with a strong cold
front will move across the central Gulf Coast region Tuesday and
Tuesday night. Showers and thunderstorms will become widespread
ahead of the front across much of the area late Tuesday and Tuesday
night. Abundant moisture flows into the region and the strong
nature of the system will result in the potential for heavy
rainfall. When combined with saturated soil conditions from rains
last week and over the weekend... conditions could become prime for
flash flooding Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night... especially in
low lying areas prone to flooding and near creeks and streams.

A Flash Flood Watch means that rapid flooding of streams... creeks
and other drainage areas will be possible within the watch area.
People in the watch area should check preparedness requirements...
keep informed... and be ready for quick action if flash flooding is
observed or if a warning is issued. Do not stay in areas subject to
flooding when water begins rising.

Remember... be especially cautious at night when it is harder to
recognize the dangers of floods and flash floods. Do not drive
your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The
water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely.
Remember to turn around... and don't drown.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
