URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
410 AM CDT SUN JUN 27 2004

THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT FOR NORTHERN
ALABAMA AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. THE WATCH
INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES...

IN ALABAMA
MORGAN...CULLMAN...FRANKLIN...MARSHALL...LAUDERDALE...
LIMESTONE...MADISON...JACKSON...COLBERT...DE KALB AND LAWRENCE

IN TENNESSEE
MOORE...LINCOLN AND FRANKLIN

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER TEXAS WILL APPROACH THE AREA TODAY AND WILL
INTERACT WITH A LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE
PRODUCTION OF MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE AND SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL ALLOW
THIS RAINFALL TO BECOME LOCALLY HEAVY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO
TWO INCHES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE WATCH AREA THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT.

HEAVY RAINFALL...COUPLED WITH EXTREMELY SATURATED SOIL
CONDITIONS...WILL RESULT IN EXCESS RUNOFF AND FLASH FLOODING
CONCERNS. THE GREATEST THREAT OF FLOODING WILL BE IN AREAS WEST OF
I65. THIS AREA HAS RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST
WEEK...ESPECIALLY FROM ATHENS TO FAYETTEVILLE TO WINCHESTER. A FEW
LOCATIONS HAVE REPORTED BETWEEN 6 AND 10 INCHES OF RAIN DURING THE
PAST WEEK. WITH MORE RAIN ON THE WAY...FLOODING IS LIKELY IN SOME
SPOTS.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING IS POSSIBLE BUT NOT IMMINENT IN THE
WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA ARE ADVISED TO CHECK
PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS...KEEP INFORMED...AND BE READY FOR QUICK
ACTION IF FLOODING THREATENS.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. IF YOUR VEHICLE STALLS...ABANDON IT AND SEEK HIGHER GROUND
IMMEDIATELY.
