OVER NORTH FLORIDA TO SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD BEGIN ON SUNDAY AND TORRENTIAL RAINS ARE

INTERESTS IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO PROTECT LIFE
AND SECURE PROPERTY NOW BEFORE THE ONSET OF HEAVY RAINS.

GENERAL OVERALL RAINFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES ARE LIKELY...WITH
LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THESE RAINFALL TOTALS ARE
DEPENDANT UPON THE EXACT TRACK AND FORWARD SPEED OF THE STORM AS IT

VULNERABLE TO FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES. MOST AREA RIVERS ARE
RELATIVELY LOW RIGHT NOW...HOWEVER...IF THE HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS
ARE REALIZED IT IS LIKELY THAT SOME WILL REACH FLOOD STAGE.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS THE WATCH AREA...WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG AREA RIVERS.
IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA...CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS
AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE INTERESTS ALONG AREA RIVERS AND COASTAL
LOCATIONS. KEEP INFORMED...AND BE READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS
OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

RESIDENTS LIVING NEAR OR BELOW SMALL EARTHEN DAMS SHOULD BE
ESPECIALLY WATCHFUL FOR RAPIDLY RISING WATERS IN THE EVENT OF HEAVY
RAINS. THESE DAMS AT TIMES CAN FAIL AND QUICK ACTIONS MAY BE NEEDED
TO REACH SAFETY.

RESIDENTS IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE MONITOR THIS
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PERSONS IN THE AFFECTED AREA SHOULD
MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND LOCAL TELEVISION OR RADIO. BE READY TO
MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR A WARNING IS ISSUED.

...HURRICANE FRANCES STILL FORECASTED TO AFFECT CENTRAL ALABAMA...

HURRICANE FRANCES IS CURRENTLY STATIONARY BUT IS PROJECTED TO BEGIN
TO MOVE WEST NORTHWEST AT 5 MPH TOWARDS THE FLORIDA EAST COAST.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 105 MPH AND MINIMUM PRESSURE IS 962
MB. THE HURRICANE WILL BE MAKING LANDFALL ON THE FLORIDA EAST COAST
BY LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST OFFICIAL HURRICANE
FORECAST TRACK FOR DETAILS.

ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK AND TIMING OF

MOVE...THE MORE RAINFALL THE AREA COULD RECEIVE.

MOST AREAS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA ARE ABLE TO HOLD UP TO 3 INCHES
BEFORE FLOODING BECOMES A PROBLEM. WITH 4 TO 8 INCHES POSSIBLE...
FLASH FLOODING ALONG WITH RIVER FLOODING WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONCERNS
BEGINNING TUESDAY WITH THIS TROPICAL EVENT.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST OFFICIAL HURRICANE
FORECAST TRACK FOR DETAILS.

ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK AND TIMING OF

MOVE...THE MORE RAINFALL THE AREA COULD RECEIVE.

MOST AREAS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA ARE ABLE TO HOLD UP TO 3 INCHES
BEFORE FLOODING BECOMES A PROBLEM. WITH 4 TO 8 INCHES POSSIBLE...
FLASH FLOODING ALONG WITH RIVER FLOODING WILL BE THE BIGGEST CONCERNS

DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE FRANCES...SOME
WIND GUSTS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 45 MPH ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS FRANCES MOVES INLAND...WIND GUSTS UP
TO 35 MPH ARE MORE LIKELY ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA AS
FRANCES WEAKENS EVEN MORE. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
TORNADOES ON TUESDAY WITH THIS TROPICAL SYSTEM.

HOLIDAY TRAVELERS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES WILL BE
IMPACTED BY THE PROGRESS OF FRANCES TO SOME EXTENT. DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST TRACK THIS FAR OUT...PLEASE REMAIN AWARE

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION FOR ALABAMA AHEAD: We cannot
underestimate the potential threat that Hurricane Frances may bring to
Alabama starting as early as Monday night. This is a developing weather
situation, and everyone will want to pay close attention to later forecasts
and official statements as the track of Frances becomes clearer.

FLOODING THREAT: There is a significant chance that the storm will move
slowly across Alabama on Tuesday. If it does, it will produce some
tremendous rainfall amounts. Rain amounts may average 5-10 inches across a
wide area of South and Central Alabama depending on the track of the storm,
which could cause serious flooding.

WIND THREAT: Frances is expected to emerge over the Gulf of Mexico on
Sunday after crossing the Florida Peninsula. It will move west northwest
and impact the coast again somewhere between Apalachicola and Mobile. The
further west that the hurricane goes, the greater that the chance that It
will regain minimal hurricane intensity. This would obviously have a
greater impact on the coast and would potentially increase our winds
slightly, Either way, it should weaken to a tropical depression before it
arrives in Central Alabama, but winds could be 10 mph stronger if it arrives
on the coast as a hurricane. An arriving hurricane could spread tropical
storm force winds further inland that if it follows a course mainly over
land. Central Alabama could experience wind gusts over 40 mph on Tuesday.


TORNADO THREAT: Dying tropical systems are notorious for producing
tornadoes. There could be a significant threat for tornadoes across
Alabama, especially ahead and east of the storm's track late on Monday into
Tuesday.

OUR THREE DAY WEATHER: We will increasingly come under the influence of
sinking air surrounding the hurricane. This means fewer clouds and only
small chances of showers and storms on Sunday. It will be warm tomorrow,
with temperatures reaching near 90 degrees. Monday will feature increasing
clouds with showers encroaching on the area starting Monday night, along
with increasing winds.

BEACH WEATHER: Residents and visitors along the beaches of Alabama and
Northwest Florida will want to pay close attention to advisories and
forecasts over the next 48 hours as Frances heads northwest. An eastern
landfall will bring tropical storm force winds to the Panama City area with
gusts to tropical storm force westward along the coast. A landfall near
Mobile could mean hurricane force winds to the Mobile/Pensacola area, with
tropical storm force winds eastward to near Destin and tropical storm gusts
to Panama City. Weather will begin to deteriorate as early as Sunday
evening in eastern sections, depending on the track. Monday promises to be
a very bad weather day along most if not all of the Gulf Coast.

IVAN: As if Frances were not enough, we will also begin to watch the future
track of Tropical Storm Ivan, way out in the Atlantic. By Tuesday, Ivan
should be a major hurricane threatening the Lesser Antilles.

...POTENTIAL HURRICANE FRANCES IMPACTS ON CENTRAL ALABAMA...

HURRICANE FRANCES WAS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST
OF THE FLORIDA LOWER EAST COAST THIS AFTERNOON...TRAVELING WEST
NORTHWEST AROUND 9 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS WERE AROUND 115 MPH.
AT THIS TIME...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TROPICAL PREDICTION
CENTER (TPC) HAS THE REMNANTS OF FRANCES MOVING GENERALLY
NORTHWEST...TOWARD SOUTHEAST ALABAMA LATE MONDAY NIGHT...AND ACROSS
PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL ALABAMA ON TUESDAY. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST
OFFICIAL HURRICANE FORECAST TRACK FOR DETAILS.

THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE
REMNANTS OF HURRICANE FRANCES. MUCH OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND APPEARS
FREE OF ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. BUT RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN
INCREASING FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

ON THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK...FRANCES WOULD BE A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION ACROSS EASTERN ALABAMA ON TUESDAY. LOCALIZED HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE A POSSIBILITY WITH AS MUCH AS TWO TO FOUR INCHES
OCCURRING LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS
WOULD OCCUR CLOSE TO THE ALABAMA GEORGIA STATELINE...IN THE VICINITY
OF US 431. POTENTIAL WIND GUST MAY REACH AS HIGH AS 35 MPH.

A SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK WESTWARD WOULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...THUNDERSTORMS...AND WIND GUSTS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. THIS ADVERSE WEATHER WOULD BECOME MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD. A
SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK EASTWARD WOULD GREATLY IMPROVE THE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH LOWER RAIN
AMOUNTS AND LOWER WIND GUSTS.

HOLIDAY TRAVELERS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES WILL BE
IMPACTED BY THE PROGRESS OF FRANCES TO SOME EXTENT. DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST TRACK THIS FAR OUT...PLEASE REMAIN AWARE
OF THE PROGRESS OF FRANCES THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
